YellowFever Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Kuching - Malaysia Pretty nice place, clean by asian standards but not really alot going on. View from the riverfront. Kuching museum, was the poorest excuse for a museum but some good art/historic stuff. Kuching means cat in Malay so they have all these cat statues around Street food, samosas,, bean cake and ramutans. Evrything cooked up on the spot, cheap and delicious Went on a trip to Semengohh nature reserve to see some orang-utans, no guarantee to see them but they ended up chilling/hiding from the rain. went on a trip to Bako national Park, the tide rises to the height of these poles in a matter of hours, nets are strung up to catch fish on these Tracks to one of the beaches, so humid and no wind at Edit: tried to rotate the photos but photobucket won't display them. ehhhhh 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YellowFever Posted December 29, 2012 Author Share Posted December 29, 2012 Flew up to Kota Kinabalu next, spent a few days Islands, trekked to the other side, absolutely no one had the beach to myself an the snorkelling was somewhat decent As expensive as it was i decided i would climb Mt Kinabalu, highest mountain on Borneo (4096m) was the biggest fuck around getting there as the mini bus only let when full and i arrived late and could share a guide Pitcher Plant sunset from the lodge where you stay, found it a bit eerie being higher than some clouds next morning hike up to the summit, it was about -2 degrees C and you start at about 3 to get there for sunrise, but it was cloudy so couldn't see shit Hike back down, didn't manage to get a decent photo of the mountain from the base Flew over to K.L and then caught the overnight train and ferry to Penang, managed to get dirt cheap flights through airasia The street food throughout Penang is amazing i was eating 5 meals a day and its all so cheap chicken rice for breakfast Drop off your paint here, few scrap cans and some bucket paint i put to good use 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YellowFever Posted December 29, 2012 Author Share Posted December 29, 2012 Finished off Malaysia in K.L for a few nights, not a lot of photos but it was so good to see some rape letters around fucking everywhere. The main city area is crushed and the river side walls which are kilometres long and just lined with piece after piece view from the skybar, prices for a beer were like i was back home, view was awesome went to Batu Caves, was alight glad you didn't have to pay to get in, smells and monkey faeces everywhere This joint was so good, pick what you want they grill or boil it for you and throwsome chilli sauce on there 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nsmbfan Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 i always loved the food choices in asian countries. having never been I can only speculate that everything tastes delicious. it's always so fresh and looks so good. my question, is a place like Malaysia as bad as Mexico when it comes to any crime or sketchy areas where you'll be captured and raped and your head cut off?

Walid Jumblat Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 The Penang ferry, still looks the same after 20 years. I haven't been to Mexico myself but at least 20 years ago Penang and KL were not dangerous places and definitely not what Mx sounds like. Cool pics, mate.

YellowFever Posted December 31, 2012 Author Share Posted December 31, 2012 Ahh thanks guys, will try keep this updated when I get the chance. @nsmbfan Malaysia is not sketchy at all didn't run into any trouble late at night.

Enjoyed Malaysia enough I'm going back later in the year to check some other spots. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YellowFever Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 Tried that but still won't copy properly. Really don't want to lose these photos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YellowFever Posted February 26, 2013 Author Share Posted February 26, 2013 Okay so flicks from Hong Kong , Ho Chi Minh, Nha Trang and Dalat (Vietnam) are on hold. Thought i fixed the problem but it keeps happening to the SD card and the computers are shit so it's not helping the situation. Hoi An - I got mad food poisoning on the day i arrived so i was bed ridden and only got a few photos. Nice town but geared towards older aged tourists with money. Japanese covered bridge Cycle to the beach old fish traps and working in the rice fields. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schnitzel Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Hoi an was alright but just like you I got sick there as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deine Mudder Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Really don't want to lose these photos Good chance you can rescue them back home with proper software. Suppose it's hard to get a second SD card there right now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YellowFever Posted March 3, 2013 Author Share Posted March 3, 2013 It's easy to get another card, but i won't be back home for at least a year. Well i sorted that shit out with anti-virus software and its all good. I just need to recover the photos. Hopefully no more bullshit.

YellowFever Posted March 11, 2013 Author Share Posted March 11, 2013 Headed to Ninh Binh after Hanoi and Cat Ba island Visited a massive temple complex which was pretty excellent no one was around so it was eerie Gate to the temple Hundreds of Buddah statues lined the stairs View from the top of one of the temples Tam Coc, which is meant to be the Halong bay on land, lots of karst landscape as you cruise down the river. Hired a small boat and the person rows with their feet, was hilarious but bshe wouldn't let me get a photo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YellowFever Posted April 9, 2013 Author Share Posted April 9, 2013 Fuck been sleeping on this! Should upload my photos of Seoul before shit goes down, if it does. If I wasn't getting emails from back home you would have no idea of the stuff North Korea has been saying. It's totally chill here and expected nothing will go down. I hope so.
