| Cows and Horses |
Sabah tourism is promoting that “Everywhere in Kota Belud you can see cows, horses and Bajau Cowboys.”
It is not true to say “Everywhere”. Only when we drive to the lonely roads in the country side, here to our great amusement are groups and teams of horses and cows.
Sabah tourism also promoting that “Bajau are Cowboys of the East.”.
We found this is not true after we visited Kota Belud. We see all the Bajau men are none is a Cowboy. Only on each Sunday market, a few men may dress up to look like a cowboy sitting on a horse for showing off to the public. International tourists’ Internet photos on these few fashion show men created the wide spread legend that Kota Belud is the cowboy town in the East. (We came on the wrong day, today is only Thursday)
But the teams of horses and cows in the country side excited us for the rest of the afternoon. In our hometown we can never see troops of animal wondering freely on the highway like this.
