Rather than write something else I'll let Euan do the writing...
We had a great time in Malaysia and we'll certainly be back.
Things I like about Malaysia.
The people. Hands down the most tourist friendly and welcoming place I've ever been to, bar none. The service here is fantastic and nothing seems to be too much trouble.
The public transport system. It's quick, it's reliable and you really don't need anything else other than your own two feet.
The sights. Old mixing it with the new, some really impressive architecture and some great museums.
The traffic. I don't know, it's busy but there doesn't seem to be much in the way of aggression displayed on the roads. (Suzie: even when the traffic cops let three light changes go by and only allowed traffic from one direction they all sat threre quite happily and waited their turn - I can't imagine this happening in any other city I have been to)
The food. Yum!
Things I don't like so much.
Peak hour public transport. Oh boy! Sardine tins.
Not sure I'd wan't to ride a bike here. With the prevalence of scooters I'm not sure cycling's a practical option. Shame as it's mostly flat.
The humidity. OK so that's something I'd get used to but when the locals are praying for rain, well you know it's kind of bad.
So thirteen hours later we land in Heathrow to .... rain. What else? This is the UK after all. The flight was good, as good as these things can be, and the transit from Heathrow to our hostel in West Kensington was relatively smooth, yay for decent public transport.
Today's a day of doing a bit of sight seeing, although having lived in Watford for three years there's not much we want to see that we haven't already, and scouting out a good location to watch the Prologue tomorrow.
