- Wow! Santa Fe! A great place. I have never been there, even USA. But San Fe is a familiar to me because I always find that name in the magazines, movies and internet. I don't reside in the province of Sabah. I live in the province of Kelantan on the north-east of peninsular Malaysia or West Malaysia. Kelantan is one of the good places to visit in Malaysia. You can come via Thailand by crossing Malaysia-Thailand border. It will be a great event for me if we can paint together. Hope it will happen soon. So keep in touch always!
