Malaysia

Hot & humid, is the order of the day here, and pretty much every day from what I can find out lots of rain, well they don't call it the rainy season for nothing. Malaysia became completely independent from the UK on 31st August 1963, and if I'd written this when I was there I'd be able to put more fact into this. The general gist of it goes the Portuguese colonized Malaysia in 1511, followed by the Dutch in 1641 then by the British in 1786 and finally by the Japanese during the second world war, so you could say that haven't had the best deal, when it comes control within their own borders. you can read more at http://www.kinabaluweb.com/malaysia_day.html if your interested.

The pics here are among the few that I have remaining after some thieving robbing scrotum buggered off with my camera, they could have done the decent thing and left the bloody memory card behind. Anyway the cyclo pic was taken in Melaka, nothing too unusual about the bike apart from the flowers and fairy lights, it was the hard core drum & base music blaring out at a volume that would put most XR3i drivers to shame that got me. The photo of the black looking clouds was taken about 15mins before the sky fell down. A most impressive volume of water.

The others are the Petronas towers at night and one in the day where you can see one of the towers has sprouted ears, the last pic is the public park right behind them.
