I didn't find anything happening in Miri in the end, but made up with Saturday night in KK. Although I am not sure I would recomend KK as a clubbing destination it was definately an experience. The night started off lousy, looking like an ugly version of Miri but full of charter tourists. It picked up after a jug of Margarita opposite the Hyatt, and after that it was an excellent night of house and RnB. Even ended up getting a taxi over to somewhere very far away where things got exceptionally dodgy. Cool.
Now trying to get up on Kinabalu mountain. Not as easy as you'd think. The set-up is as follows: tomorrow a bus will pick me up at 7 and drive me to the mountain HQ. At 9.30 the accomodation office will check whether there is actually any rooms up at the top to stay the night. If they find out there's none I'm going to have to return with nothing to show... So- here's hoping it will work
