Chinese New Year
We had planned to be at the farm for Chinese New Year but after our quick exit we soon realised most places were closed and finding a place to stay was proving difficult. In the end we managed to find somewhere in Ipoh, it was nice enough and luxury compared to the farm.
The plan was to head up to Langkawi but we could not get a hostel …

After that we went to the Buddha caves (Perak Tong) i've never been to any caves before and wasn't sure what to expect.
