Singapore
Boring...
but safe...
and almost pleasant...
in places.
Malaysia
Melaka = boring
Kuala Lumpur
The world's tallest buildings !
but still .....boring.
The Cameron highlands
The best part so far...
...is taking tea over the plantations.
How bloody civilized !
and almost as nice...
as the pictures make it out to be.
Penang
Not a terribly interesting country , but troublefree traveling.
Monsoon = couldn't get to the islands.
Thailand
The "bastard son-of-Jaws" pays a visit to Phuket !
Only first story absolute oceanfront was affected by the tsunami.
The beach palms barely took notice ?!?!
This is a week after. Contrary to sensasionalist mediareports , all is business as usual in Patong.
This is the oceanfront. Patong has not been wiped out. Tsunami impact on Phuket = minimal.
The hotels apparently haven't heard of the disaster as they're all still charging high season rates ! , as if nothing has happened.
But looking at 99% of patong nothing HAS happened.
Bloodmoney ! found in the bay during a few interesting " is that a skull or a coconut " freediving sessions
....mmmmm...Mangosteeen !
