We hope to be in Kuala Lumpur before the 11th of February for the Thaipusam festival. We're looking to meet up with some Travel Podders while we're down there. Also, if you have any suggestions, drop us a line! See you there.

Oh man I need to get to the train station). Our train deposits us in Butterworth, and we were thinking of heading across the water to Georgetown. We have no guide book for Malaysia so we're just flying by teh seat of our pants on this one. Any thoughts? See you in Malaysia.

Hmmm, I hadn;t even started mentioning Malaysian Borneo as I wasn't sure that you'd go - but yu should - it is great. Mt Kinabalu, Poring Hot springs, maybe turtle island and Sipadan and definitely Sepilok Orangutan Sactuary in Sabah. In Sarawak, envoy Kuching, go see the Pinnacles, go to Deer cave, go and stay in a long house somewhere. Oh and maybe Bako National Park. That should keep you busy for a few weeks.

Yes, yes, and yes! The orangutan sanctuary is amazing. Had a chance to see them a few years back. The entire area is beautiful and worth a look. I had a hard time leaving. -------------------- ~Susie 'Yesterday's the past and tomorrow's the future. Today is a gift - which is why they call it the present.'
