We just got to Malaysia! It's amazingly lush and green here. So beautiful, very warm, very humid, lots of women in full body coverings. We have stumbled upon a little port town called Malaka. This place is evidently the seat of all of Malaysian take-overs. The Dutch, the Brits, Portuguese, the Chinese etc. Everyone has taken over rule in Malaysia from about 1250 on! This place has tons of history and has recently been turned into a weird kitchy tourist trap. A Holiday Inn was recently built. There is fun history to see and evidently some pretty fabulous fusion food. There is still a thriving Portuguese population here and they have some fantastic food that is Portuguese with some Asian touches. Lots of yumminess.
It's also really cheap here. We had two large main dished, dessert, and beers last night for a total of $7. I'm looking forward to more deals in this country:-)
This morning Debra informed me that although the primates run wild here...I am not allowed to play with them. This makes me sad, evidently monkeys bite:-( I was so excited to cuddle with a little chimp, alas I cannot. My trip is ruined.
Just kidding! We are off to play more in Malaka!
