Nothing fancy, just a video of the street restauruant behind our hotel in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It was so good we ate here twice.
Day two of our Malaysian jungle experience.
Malaysian Jungle, day two. Our goal is hiking to the top of the peak behind our resort for a view of the rest of Taman Negara national park. The view below was our reward for a very sweaty two hours of trekking. The way down was not much easier then the way up.
Looking down the [...]
Deep in the Jungle…..with boat loads of tourists.
Judging from the image above you would think we were intrepid explorers with our trusty guide….
Wrong, just tourists in pink shirts and big sunglasses!
We really were deep in the jungle but this particular location is a major stopping point for tourists entering into the Taman Negara national park. It is an amazing place and traveling [...]
Kuala Lipis, Malaysia around the end of June
Donald Duck says “Welcome to Kuala Lipis”. Our first morning in Malaysia we found the Chinese hawker center for breakfast and we were greeted by our friend Donald and these two kids, who roared with laughter and ran when I turned my camera on them.
You may remember this location from the food postings, it is [...]
FEARED or Food, Eating And the Risk of Eminent Destruction!
So far our food ratings, in terms of what might cause us harm in one form or another, have shaped up in what we are calling the FEARED scale, as in what to be feared and how feared do we need to be before we eat.

Random travel post #1.
Finally catching up with ourselves so I thought a few random images from our first couple of weeks would be a good post.
The long awaited food posting part 1.
OK, some long awaited food images. Impossible to describe all of the great meals we have had and the experiences that have gone with them. Nevermind that Ho Chi Minh is having his revenge on my gut right now and I am limited to rice and bananas.
Lost fingers and shamans in Laos.
While cruising down the Mekong after visiting elephants, a number of local villages and the Buddha Cave, we ended up inadvertently in an international game of comparing scars and injuries with our guide. We noticed a small scar above his eye and he told us it was a shaving accident when he was studying to [...]
Bukit Brown Cemetery, Singapore.
Stepping back a week or so, back to Singapore. I thought I would post a group of images from one of the oldest remaining cemeteries in Singapore. Many of the old cemetaries are being moved or destroyed because of development. This one, called Bukit (meaning hill) Brown (being the former colonial owner of the property) [...]
