Trip overseas

Hi Families

Hope everyone is well.
Just got back from Malaysia and Brunei and I tell you wot, you think the Islands is HOT baby, you ain't seen hot. 44 degrees in the shade and counting. Waiting for the CD that has all the photos and I will post them for everyone to have a look.
Kuala Lumpur is a beautiful city with lots to see. The twin towers, you have to wait in line for tickets early morning as it is first in first serve. Beautiful view from up there.
SHOPPING? Well, where do you start?. For every NZ dollar you got $1.84 malaysian dollars.
My friend Darren's wedding was great ( 2 days of being up early and back home late or early hours of the next day ).
DRIVING A CAR? CRAZY, CRAZY !!! You can't honk your horn ( as it is considered rude behaviour ) you don't have to indicate ( even though someone is right beside you in the lane that you want to go in) , you can do a U turn in front of another car ( if you so wish) , you can ride 3 people on a bike ( and that includes babies ) . You need to see the photos so that I can explain. ALCOHOL? Well, you have to be a multimillionaire to drink over there. $22 Malaysian dollars for a bottle of Corona. Lengi, Cole and Myself learnt that lesson the hardway. Our meal came to only $100 Malaysian dollars and we had 6 bottles of Corona which costs us $135 Malaysian dollars. WOW !!!
Have alot of tales to tell and will fill the family in when I get around to it.

  1. That sounds like an amazing trip!! The prices are crazy (expensive beer or what??) and the drivers sound like the drivers in India - no road rules, they drive in the shade, no matter where it is!
