Tawau Tour

 Tawau is a town on east side of Sabah. From Kota Kinabalu you can take a 45 minutes flight to Tawau Airport. From the airport take a taxi for 30 minutes ride to Tawau. There are plenty of hotels in Tawau but I stayed in Hotel Emas.  If you need Internet access, Sedap corner has free wifi. Its only 3 minutes walk from hotel emas.

If you are lucky you can also ask them out for dinner at the same time ask her to show you around town...
