IMPERIAL HOTEL











The hotel is 3 star but seems more like a boutique hotel with its interior of the rooms tastefully designed. It is only within 15 minutes from the airport is located right in the city centre.
It is within a new and up class shopping mall, Warisan Square and the front entrance facing Centre Point, another well known Shopping centre. At the back of the hotel, across the road, is the Water front night entertainment area with restaurants, cafes and pubs.
I have introduced this hotel to several of my tourists and they are just delighted with it.
Stronlgy recommend this hotel. Price for Standard Deluxe room should be about RM200 nett.

BUY ONE FREE ONE @ RM2

BUY ONE FREE ONE @ RM2 !
"?????????? " my Filipino guest looked around him in the restaurant and even upward to see where is the "ROOM NO 2" !!!!!!!! He just loves food and this sounds GOODDDDDDDDDD! But he couldn't find the Room No 2 and he was shy to ask, so, decided to just ignore it.

The next day when I was explaining certain custom and culture in the coach, our friend suddenly exclaimed "Oh my goodness, you meant RM means Ringgit Malaysia (Malaysian currency)? Last night, there was this sign in the restaurant and I thought there's a Room No 2 for the Buy One Free One! Oh my.................." Everybody in the coach roll with laughter!!!!!!

KK HERITAGE WALK亚庀(KK)怀旧步道




This Walk was initiated by me, Grace, in 2005. The walk takes you along the older parts of the city and covers historical places like the Independence Field, Atkinson Clock Tower, Malaysia Monument, North Borneo War Memorial, City Council, Gaya Street, Sabah Tourism Building, Independence Community Centre, Australia Place and of course lastly, a traditional tea break at the Museum Kopitiam.


The duration of the Walk including the tea break last about 3 hours. The Walk is actually a very leisure kind of a walk and certainly not difficult at all. It will definitely enlightens you a lot on the birth of the city and its 3 eras, namely, Pre War, Post War and Post Independence. It will also opens up the sights and sounds of the city and also its unique culture as well.


The Walk includes a Hertage Walk cap and booklet which will really complements the Walk perfectly. Of course, the Walk would not be complete without one of our specially selected and well trained Heritage Guides who have more than 15 over years of experience in guiding to lead the Walk! So, HAPPY WALKING !

KK HERITAGE WALK - IT HAS TO START SOMEWHERE!



It has got to start somewhere! After doing several groups of media, tour agents introduced by Tourism Malaysia and FITS now and then, finally, a Taiwan tour agent decided to add my Heritage Walk into their tour package! Odd.................It has to come from Taiwan? What happen to the Australians and English? I thought they should be more interested as our history had a lot to do with them! Arh........... well, like I say it has to start somewhere. I am truly grateful to this Taiwan agent and the local agent Skyzone to do the tour.


Outcome and Response?..................... Fantastic! The guests like the walking tour very much and truly appreciate it. For this group ,I actually have to split the tour and the tea break due to time constraint. We had the tea break at the Museum Kopitiam on the last day, which was yesterday 05th April, 2008 and they loved it. This is definitely the better way to end the their last day in Sabah with our traditional coffee break!
