The ironman of travel Yoshimasa Ikeuchi

At the transit Kota Kinabalu, check the body temperature, disinfectant solution, interview and strict caution. The Japanese are infected countries and are particularly severe. There are few masks at the airport that entered Malaysia. In Rome, which arrived the next day, I was surprised at the complete no-check. The mask I prepared is still sleeping on the bottom of my bag.

Enchanted by the elegant appearance of spreading pink wings and flying in the land of Cagliari. The shallows are full of shellfish debris to feed on. This is a paradise for flamingos.

Influenza epidemic worldwide. It is reported that the number of infected people has exceeded 10,000. On May 22, 2009, all schools in Osaka and Hyogo announced a one-week closure. This trip is to stop at Borneo Island on the way back, so we stayed overnight in Kuala Lumpur via Kota Kinabalu.
