Malaysia
I've only made
two short trips to Malaysia. In both instances the excuse was to
get away from the silly Songkran holiday that makes such a mess
of Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, and southern Yunnan, China.
However, this revelation certainly shouldn't be taken as a slight
against Malaysia but rather as an advance disclaimer that I really
haven't seen a whole lot of this country to make any attempt to
explain it.
Hence, all
that appears are short reviews of the four places that I have visited.
In 2003 it was Kuala Lumpur and the Perhentian Islands and in 2004
it was Penang and Langkawi.
In the future
I will try to do better as there is a lot more I'd like to see of
Malaysia, especially over in Sarawak and Sabah in Malaysian Borneo.
