張震岳《再見》
[張震嶽「再見」歌詞]
[主歌]
我怕我沒有機會跟你說一聲再見
因為也許就再也見不到你
明天我要離開熟悉的地方和你
要分離 我眼淚就掉下去
[副歌]
我會牢牢記住你的臉 我會珍惜你給的思念
這些日子在我心中永遠都不會抹去
我不能答應你 我是否會再回來
不回頭 不回頭的走下去
[主歌]
我怕我沒有機會跟你說一聲再見
因為也許就再也見不到你
明天我要離開熟悉的地方和你
要分離 我眼淚就掉下去
[副歌]
我會牢牢記住你的臉 我會珍惜你給的思念
這些日子在我心中永遠都不會抹去
我不能答應你 我是否會再回來
不回頭 不回頭的走下去

What comes to mind when you think of ecotourism? Perhaps images of wildlife in lush jungles, the vibrant marine life deep in the ocean, or serene rural landscapes far removed from city life. And yes, limited internet access might be part of the picture! From our recent family vacation, we quickly learned that the lack of connectivity isn’t just a perception—it’s often a reality.
Picture this: your phone shows "Full Bars E" or "1 Bar 4G," but neither provides a usable connection. Even the much-anticipated StarLink WiFi on Selingan Island wasn’t a saving grace; once 40+ tourists logged on, the speed was as good as no connection at all! Still, it was better than "Full Bars E."

Our six-day adventure started at a hurried pace but slowed to a relaxed rhythm, giving us time to truly appreciate the experience. Here’s a day-by-day breakdown of our journey:
We began our trip with brunch at MyMee and then we checked in at the Sabah Hotel. In the afternoon, we made a visit to The Agnes Keith House and The English Garden, two charming historical sites. The high tea at The English Garden added a touch of indulgence. For dinner, we enjoyed fresh seafood at the Sim-Sim Seafood Restaurant on Bridge #8—a delightful start to our trip.

The highlight of the day was our visit to Selingan Island, renowned for its turtle conservation efforts. After registering at the Sandakan Jetty at 9:30 a.m., we departed at 10:00 a.m. and arrived on the island by 11:00 a.m.
After settling into our rooms and a quick briefing, we had lunch at 12:30 p.m. The afternoon was spent swimming within marked boundaries until high tide approached. At 6:00 p.m., we explored the Exhibition Hall, which shared insights into turtle conservation.
Dinner was served at 7:00 p.m., and we were advised to wait in the dining hall until the first turtle sighting. This could happen anytime between 8:30 p.m. and 2:00 a.m. We were lucky enough to witness a turtle laying eggs—a truly unforgettable moment!
After a morning departure from Selingan Island, we arrived back at the Sandakan Jetty by 8:00 a.m. A bus took us to the Sepilok Orang Utan Rehabilitation Centre and the Sun Bear Conservation Centre, located side by side.
Post-lunch, a two-hour drive brought us to Kampung Bilit, along the Kinabatangan River. A short boat ride from the jetty led us to Bilit Adventure Lodge (BAL), a serene spot deep in the jungle.
The evening river cruise was an awe-inspiring experience, where we spotted wildlife including proboscis monkeys, macaques, hornbills, and crocodiles. The second evening cruise even gifted us a rare sighting of an orangutan!

We spent a leisurely day at BAL, starting with a jungle trek around the lodge. Though mosquitoes were plentiful, the lush rainforest was captivating. Another river cruise at 4:30 p.m. allowed us to observe more wildlife as the sun set over the Kinabatangan River.
After breakfast, we returned to Sandakan and checked into the Sabah Hotel. A food tour was next on the agenda, featuring delicious stops at:
Each meal was a feast, showcasing the rich flavors of Sandakan cuisine.
On our final day, we packed up and enjoyed a relaxed morning. I managed to squeeze in a visit with a friend to savor Sandakan's famous noodles and stock up on local desserts before heading to the airport.
This family trip to Sandakan was an unforgettable ecotourism experience. We gained valuable insights into wildlife conservation and saw how local organizations work tirelessly to protect endangered species. Witnessing four of Borneo’s "Big Five" animals—orangutans, proboscis monkeys, hornbills, and sun bears—was a privilege, even though the elusive elephants remained out of sight.
From island adventures to river cruises and jungle treks, this journey reminded us of the beauty of slowing down, connecting with nature, and appreciating the efforts to conserve it.
This was a trip that left our hearts full and our minds inspired—ecotourism at its best!
I love this video clips. It makes a lot of sense to me.
