The picture is very similar to one that hung on the bulletin board of my office for four months while I planned my escape from corporate America, I was 24 years old. I cashed my $1,600 IRS refund check, piled all my stuff in my parent’s garage, threw on my new backpack, and headed off on a grand adventure…

In this episode of into the Soup, we tour Kota Kinabalu in Sabah, Borneo. We visit the Gaya Street Market, hit the KK Adventure park for some kid friendly fun, and then explore Malay street food at the Dragon Food Center hawker stand.

I have never liked my birthday. Not for the fact of birthdays, any excuse to have a party, but for the date - December 26^th - Boxing Day, the day that people recover from Christmas celebrations, pen their New Year resolutions, and gear up for the next holiday. That is until this year.
