Sunday market in Kota Kinabalu

There is a very vibrant Sunday market in Kota Kinabalu. It is huge. And hot.


There are at least 3 streets full of stalls. One cannot really put what you see on a photo. You cannot see the depth and the width of the market.


Plenty of rice to buy.


Fish in plastic bags and in bottles. I wonder how the fish was squeezed into the bottle.

Many stalls were just flat on the ground. I think all of them had shade.

 Lots of crafts were available. More than you can buy.

Not for sale. Big brother looking after baby.

Dogs for sale - puppies and some a bit older.

Turtles to buy. This is a very unusual sight for a South African like me.

Beautiful paintings by a local artist.

Cats for sale. I did not really like seeing this as all the animals were clearly very hot.

Wool!!! I nearly bought some. Was not expensive either. I really nearly bought some.

I am still very tickled by the lack of sewing stuff in Malaysia, compared to what I'm used to. This is what I find on average. Once I saw more in Johor Bahru.

Blind people massaging feet.


A blind girl singing. At first we did not know that she and the musicians were blind. I enjoyed her singing.

A fish in a plastic bag with some plants above him.

Very hot rabbits. I was feeling very hot and hat sweat running rivers down my back and I was fanning my face and I don't even have fur to make me even hotter.

Real plants growing in shells. One had a toy bird attached for pretty.

The variety of fish you could buy was amazing.

Chickens of various ages and types. Also feeling the heat.

Ducklings as well for sale.

I also learnt you get different types of turtles.


One could pose with a huge, massive, horrible snake around your neck. This girl was very, very brave.

The guy taking a photo for her with her camera had a smaller snake draped around his neck. Not my idea of fun.

Will I go again if I have the opportunity? Yes.
