Kota Kinabalu escape Day 3

i went to the Monsopiad Cultural Village on my last day. honestly i was disappointed at what was being offered there. the journey itself was discouraging enough as my friends and i have to wander far away from civilisation into narrow paths with minimum road signs. at many points, we thought we were lost.

and i shall not elaborate about my head being ripped off by the entrance fee and boost about my terrorism there.

impressive headgear

we watched a half an hour cultural show, featuring 2 traditional dances and a sumpit hunting demonstration. then we national geographically documented the place by taking pictures at all possible angles.

the only adventurous/ fun activity of the day was to walk on the rickety hanging bridge, which i might have accidentally traumatised my friend by sprinting across it, several times.

across the monsopiad village is the House of Skulls, another disappointment as i was expecting something along a catacomb (my fault for ill research and playing too much zombie games). my friends claimed that the museum has a better collection than this, and it's free o.O!

after we featured ourselves in some slinging with clay, sumpiting and walking with bamboo sticks circus show, we went to have our welcoming drink, better phrased as byebye drink:tapai served chilled in a bamboo cup (that's when i received my Gundam consulting call:p).

the national geographic explorers then packed their gear and drove back to town for pudding tea and yogurt ice cream without looking back even once.

my advice to other national geographic or not explorers, this is not a place for you if you

1. expect skulls hanging at all four corners of the wall.

2. expect villagers roaming around, reenacting history.

3. expect this to be a whole day tour (we finished it in less than 2 hrs)

4. expect lots of labels and enough history documentation to write a book.

5. don't really have much to spend (the transportation and entrance fee is modern day head hunting in a sense)

6. attract mozzies (bring some insect repellent)

yogurt toppings. i suggest red bean+mandarin oranges+mango

Fall season anime

new season! new animes! great responsibility! i am now religiously reviewing new animes in hope to find some that i can convert to are worth watching. hehe.

from the fall releases, so far, these are on my 'will try to watch and see if i can survive the first two episodes without brain damage' list.

Darker than black II- this is pretty much on my watch list. i followed the 1st one and generally enjoy anything from BONES:)

To aru Kagaku no Railgun- watched 'to aru majitsu no index' before and survived the annoying characters, so might as well give the gaiden a try. seems very high quality too.

Fairy Tail- same mangaka from Rave. i have no clue what the story might be about but will try just for the sake of the mangaka.

Kimi ni Todoke- other reviewers said it's really good. but i am skeptical bout shoujo+romance genres. this better not make my brain cells evaporate from mushiness.

Kobato- a CLAMP that i might enjoy the style but not the story. in danger of sleeping through it. alarm clock ready.

Yume iro Pastissiere- is on my list just because of the word 'cake' (drools). it's about a cake baking school. typical shoujo like gakuen alice i assume. huhu.

Shakugan no Shana S- followed all the chronicles so far. hope it's not as bad as SnS II.

Seitokai no Ichizon- about a student council in a private school. seems to have lots of anime parodies... i have a galactic-size soft spot for that.

Book of Bantorra- trailer told me when a person dies, one becomes a book. concept seems interesting and there's lot of weapons flying around and explosions going off at all directions *.* haha.

so let's see who's qualified to enter my watch list...

and is anyone else embarking the same divine journey? do share your list of potential blockbusters:)
