The latest in the series.... though technically he's not one yet but I'm quite sure he will be soon.....
Taken at the junction to the Park HQ
I was on my way to KK from Sandakan and yes... working as well as you can see I'm wearing the oh-no company tshirt and he was standing next to the road side in Mile 32 doing the hitch-hiking sign. I slowed down and asked him to join me on the ride to KK as he wanted to go to Kinabalu Park. He couldn't get a bus and another Good Samaritan picked him at the Sepilok junction but had to drop him off at Mile 32 cox he's gotta go to Lahad Datu, which is different direction to KK or the Kinabalu National Park.
His name is Dave, from NZ...yeah... LOTR and the dairies!!!! Had a good time chatting with him along the ride from Mile 32 to the National Park and he shared his travel experience. We traded some of our experience in Hanoi and our views on people we met on our travel and yes....it's a good laugh.
If you are reading this Dave, enjoy ur next trip in Indonesia!!! Hope you did the Mt. Kinabalu and keep in touch.

I know u did it many times to others, but don't you think it's a bit dangerous for foreigners to hitch hike like that? No one take rob any of these lone hitch-hikers before?
i think he initially wants to take a bus but seems like all the bus is full. it's the 1st monday after the election.
i remember the previous time i did offer hitch-hike is the swedish couple, also due to bus full, i think it's around hari raya holiday or sth.
having said tat, i think it's dangerous actually for locals but the risk is lower for foreigners, especially those who did here are mostly backpackers which normally not a target for robbers/penyangak. well, except those psycho out there gwa....
