Sabah: Special delivery


Totally unheard of in the Nabawan region of Sabah and it was probably the topic of conversation for most of these boarding students with their other fellow schoolmates the following morning. A generous donor sponsored a Christmas party for the 80 children in the Asrama. But since they were home for the holidays, Bro Ekbertus used the money to buy KFC (the week before) and pizza for all 80! For the most of them, it was their first time trying these forms of fastfood. The closest they ever got to it was about 5m from the television screen.

Since there are no such reataurants in Nabawan, Bro Ekbertus and I transported 40 large-size pizzas all the way from Kota Kinabalu - about a three hours away! It even took the restaurant about 2 hours to prepare the order. The closest fastfood chain from Nabawan is in Keningau, about a 70min journey away. You can just imagine the smiles on their faces that evening for dinner. :O)
