The best things in life

I am speaking to a friend right this moment and he suddenly asked about my last Kota Kinabalu trip... we were sharing experiences and then he told me I missed out the best of Kinabalu. To me, I had a wonderful trip, pleasant company and that is already the best for me. I wonder how people categorize "best", is doing what most people do the best thing? Climbing Mt Kinabalu no doubt is one of the must-do for many in Sabah, but to me it's not a priority because I have been to the place and I have seen Mt Kinabalu right from Kinabalu Park. I don't have to be above the clouds. I chose not to climb at 2am in the cold and darkness. I guess the best for me is a much easier solution than for all. If you ask me what's the best thing to do in London, I wouldn't say visit the Tower of London, Big Ben or even go up on The London Eye... The best is to enjoy each moment you're there, even if you're lost or missed the last ferry and had to miss the start of your tour (like I did, but the rest of the journey was awesome because I chose to see it that way). Because very often, not the best leaves you profound memories... but how you decide to perceive something, because then you'll often experience the best :)
