At one point before I left France someone asked me what I was going to do in Malaysia and I replied "just wander about"! below are a few photos taken while doing exactly that. For some reason the text below the car won't display so it was going to say that in UK this MG would be worth a fortune!
I first became interested in South East Asia, especially Malaysia, when I read Somerset Maugham's short stories based upon his own experiences of travelling in that region in the early 1900's. Having spent the last four years living like a hermit in France, the need to go out and travel became ever more attractive and SEA seemed like an obvious place to go. When I was told about Workaway and cheap backpacking Hostels the possibility of travelling on a very tight budget became a reality.

Wandering around!
This was my choice for breakfast today total cost £0.40
Beginning of the Penang National Park
Pork bun, hot cucumber with spices & the local coffee ... total cost £0.80
The local fishing fleet
Where rich kids go to play
My next garden!
One day when I was wandering about an Indian family insisted I came to share in their festival
One morning a Chinese street vendor apeared selling these pancakes which were exceedingly good
Believe it or not these are flowers
The front garden often becomes a cafe
More stunning flowers
Local Chinese cemetery
Hammock heaven!
More stunning ....
Traditional house
While swimming in the sea yesterday I watched a very touching little ceremony whereby some members of this place of worship (I think Bahai) were wading fully clothed into the sea to 'launch' small bundles of flowers.
