Pictures from our January trip to Malaysiapore, available in part on Becky’s blog (linked on the sidebar), are being uploaded in full to my gallery as I type. Also, I’m uploading pictures from Becky’s whirlwind tour of Hong Kong.
Interestingly, in Melaka we managed to completely avoid photographing the historic square (Christ Church and the Stadthuys). Oops. I guess the torrential rains got in the way.
I’ll link you to the albums of new stuff:
I’m in Melaka, Malaysia, right now, as are torrential rains. I’ve had some trouble getting to the blog… it seems I picked a bad time of year to transfer my domain and run out of disk space… and only fixed it at the end of this session, but I hope I’ll be able to post more soon. En breve, Singapore is nice but more expensive than most of Europe, and both it and Malaysia seem more Westernized (in the limited parts I’ve visited, granted) than Hong Kong. More English on the street, in particular, even in Malaysia.
Stubbed (and possibly broke) my toe on the way out of Singapore but it isn’t acting too bad yet. Hope it doesn’t freeze up, that would be awfully inconvenient. Not much pain unless I taunt it. This hasn’t been my trip… I’ve dropped my glasses (no permanent damage) and had a heck of time finding things. I’ve been suffering from overcomparison syndrome, expecting everything to be like Thailand and Lao, and it of course isn’t. It including the weather patterns which make knowing where I’m going next nearly impossible.
Melaka is a bit sleepier, but it’s still no Luang Prabang. Some good fruit juice, though, so we’re getting there.
I cleverly left my travel towel and a shirt behind in KL so my laundry situation is pretty dire… and nothing will be drying in Melaka for the next week or two. Bought a couple t-shirts today to put off the inevitable slaving over a sink and… well, maybe I could dry stuff with a blowtorch, if I had one.
Until I make it on to the site again,
It’s official: I booked a ticket (with Becky) from 4 to 15 January, Macau to Kuala Lumpur. Malaysia (and Singapore) here we come.
