Abroad is the place where we stay up late, follow impulse and find ourselves as wide open as when we are in love. We live without a past or future, for a moment at least, and are ourselves up for grabs and open to interpretation. We even may become mysterious—to others, at first, and sometimes to ourselves—and, as no less a dignitary than Oliver Cromwell once noted, “A man never goes so far as when he doesn’t know where he is going.” - Pico Iyer, Why We Travel
Hitting the road from Kuala Lumpur to Selangor to Pahang and all the way to Penang, I got to experience a lot of wonderful things. Here are the best of them:
3. Savoring a bowl of hokkien me at the Red Garden Food Paradise in George Town, Penang
7. The delectable taste of those freshly cooked curry puffs sold along Kuala Lumpur’s Petaling Street
9. Relishing a banana split at Bayview Hotel George Town’s revolving restaurant, which gave us a 360-degree view of the entire city
10. Shopping for bargain-priced dresses at Berjaya Times Square KL without trying them on (and later finding out that they fit me perfectly)

Wonderful memories. I too would love to ride an elephant one day.

Oh, Wow!!
Malaysia is amazing!
The temple looks serene... The elephant is sooo cute... And those caves look stunning!
Its difficult to choose one out of them... They all are equally inviting!!
