Subject: Post: Today we found out another face of Labuan, much better than the city. We rented scooters from our hostel (for 7.5€ / 2 scooters) and drove around the island all day. The countryside of the island seems to be much more beatiful, people are nice and we even found some really good local food in a small restaurant, much better than ones we have got from the city restaurants.The safe traveling rules wouldn't approve this either, though.. The scooters were 125cc so they were reasonably fast, top speed well over 100kmh, I don't have a motorbike license and haven't been driving any two-wheeled motorized thing for 10 years and traffic here in Malaysia is on left side. Getting used to the scooter and the left-side traffic didn't take long, though. That was fun. :)There is a timelapse video available at http://youtu.be/1xRRRn1NGAs, taken with a GoPro camera attached to my scooter. Latitude: Longitude: Security Code:
