Kuala Lumpa

The more observant of you will have noticed that I have just posted the last 2 weeks pictures in the last couple of hours. Well that's because I am in Kuala Lumpa Airport awaiting my transfer to Heathrow. Sat in Starbucks using the free Wi-Fi Hot Spot. Here's my view from the window.Image_00002



View from Hotel Window

Here is a .swf file that I created of the view from my Hotel Window. The full picture is over 4 Mb butthis is only 170 k.  It gives you the idea but you need "Flash " to see it. If you want the full 4 Mb file you need broadband and email me.Download hotel_view_penang_island.swf



I have also optimised it down to 40k for those on mobile devices - but this doesn't really do it any justice at all.Hotel_view_penang_island_optimised



Hiding Cow

Now I do believe he knew!! You will have to look closely as he didn't really want to meet me( Roumer of m y eating habbits may have reached him). That is untill I climbed out of the car to get a closer picture - then he was right up for it! NImage_00048 eedless to say I neglected to get the close up as I was too busy getting back in the car screaming "Go Go Go !!"



Curried Cow's Brains

Image_00049 Yes it is!! At first I thought it was a wind up - some sort of vegetable surely! But no - after I had tucked in and scoffed it down, they confirmed - yes it was "Curried Cow Brains". It was actually Quite nice - like a slightly rubbery Liver but white!



Penang Island from the Ferry

The Ferry was so much more relaxed than the bridge.Ferry Penang1







The island looks almost calm from the Ferry

Water Cooled CPU

The inovative Malay's - This is the ultimate "Water Cooled CPU", cleverly they have used the heat for some tropical fish - two hobbies in one box!!??Pc_fish_tank



Malay Chav

The Malay's love their cars, and you see many a Proton with a chaved up exhaust and aerowing , usually they are speeding around attempting to knock over as many scooters as posible , but I managed to snap this one that was parked. Sorry it's a bit dark!Malay_chav



Food Glorious Food

The Malay's love their food, and I have found that I really have enjoyed some of it. Here are some pics of stuff I can't eat - I am alergic to fish!!.

Penang Bridge

Penang_island_bridge_2 Penang_palau_bridge_135_km_traffic_hell







We have had to cross this insane bridge every day on our hour drive into the wilds of Malaysia - it's 13.5 Km long and it's anarchy all the way. We have always caught the ferry back which is alot more leisurely.

Had to snap this old Cortina Taxi Cortina_taxi
