More on Sandakan

This is some of the rest of the days tour of Sandakan.  This is a HUGE and new Buddhist temple.  Think Nan Tien outside Wollongong.

But they are not keen on bell-ringing.  I guess Christ Church St Laurence doesn't let visitors touch the ropes either!

 A church - a catholic one.

And the house of Agnes Keith.  I had not heard of her, but she was an American author married to an Englishman and they lived in Sandakan before the war.  She wrote books of her experience  before and during the war.  A beautiful house that was destroyed by bombing and has been rebuilt by the Sabah Historical Society.  Obviously she wasn't bad at real estate either!
