Do you know, there's a postbox, highest post box of Malaysia, which is located at Mt. Kinabalu?
To reach this post box is no easy task though. You need to hike 6 KM to 3,289 Meters above sea level, but this effort adds more sentimental value to your postcard.
Once you arrive Laban Rata Resthouse, the main accommodation for climbers of Mt. Kinabalu, you still need to climb 100 Meters of staircase behind the resthouse to Pendant Hut, where the post box sitting next to. :D
considering all the efforts done to get there, i feel so lucky to be the receiver of this postcard :)
whats more interesting is, the POSTMARK itself ! :) woaaahhhh! you can see three very special postmark on this postcard! :)
tq son!

Nepenthes Of Sabah

*Nepenthes Ampullaria

*Nepenthes Xalisaputrana

*Nepenthes Rajah - Largest Pitcher Plant in the World!

*Nepenthes Villosa

*Nepenthes Edwardsiana
The Nepenthes of Borneo (31 species) are one of the world's most remarkable groups of plants. They trap and eat animals, provide homes for others, and even make convenient day-time roosting sites for bats! Few plants can boast such a variety of bizarre features, but the Nepenthes of Borneo don't stop there, for there are many other facets of their biology which we still know very little about. On top of that, their home is the steaming tropical rain forests of Borneo: on the summits of mountains, high up in the tops of trees, or even by the sides of roads in major towns.

Sipadan Island - Sabah Malaysia
Vote for Sipadan, to be the next new7wonders of Nature!
http://www.votesipadan.com/
Sipadan is the only oceanic island in Malaysia, rising 600 m from the seabed. It is in the Celebes Sea, east of the town of Tawau and off the coast of eastern Malaysia. It was formed by living corals growing on top of an extinct volcanic cone, and took thousands of years to develop. Sipadan is located at the heart of the Indo-Pacific basin, the center of one of the richest marine habitats in the world. More than 3,000 species of fish and hundreds of coral species have been classified in this ecosystem.
