The turtle was swaying her back legs burying where her eggs dropped. We had missed the event! Still it was nice to see the turtle up close, they are bigger then I imagined; on average they are 1M long, and about 95cm in diameter over the shell.

I have arrived in Sandakan at Lee Kun’s house. It is a big family here, Lee Kun and his wife, his 2 parents, 3 children, 4 dogs and 5 cats. Not to mention this also being the workplace where all the engines are built so the 2 assistants (Ah B and Lim) are here during the day too.

I helped out cleaning engine parts, I can appreciate how much effort went into building the engine I purchased from Lee Kun now. Read the rest! \(^u^)/ →
