Background: During the late 18th and 19th centuries, Great Britain established colonies and protectorates in the area of current Malaysia; these were occupied by Japan from 1942 to 1945. In 1948, the British-ruled territories on the Malay Peninsula formed the Federation of Malaya, which became independent in 1957. Malaysia was formed in 1963 when the former British colonies of Singapore and the East Malaysian states of Sabah and Sarawak on the northern coast of Borneo joined the Federation. The first several years of the country's history were marred by Indonesian efforts to control Malaysia, Philippine claims to Sabah, and Singapore's secession from the Federation in 1965.

The parting of the ways came for Al and me this morning, I panicked as usual when my booked coach was half an hour late to pick me up. As it turned out we spend in under 40 mins to the airport and i had time to spare!! I have arrived in KL , the landscape looks very different from HK and mainland China . We are much nearer the equator , its monsoon period so the sky was grey and light rain splattered down but its 86 degrees so very deceptive. the vegetation is very luch lots of palms before [View Full Entry]

Just a quick update. Yesterday we queued for a couple of hours to get tickets to the Petronas Towers trip and skybridge. It's a bit nuts and really noisy. I took a book and lots of people take cameras. I don't see the point in taking photos of tourists queueing. We get tickets for the last tour of the day at 6.30pm and head back to the hotel for breakfast. We then venture to Bukit Bitang. It's more shopping, more malls, more insanity. We get lost and in a good way find the Pavillion. Yet another huge mall with gigantic food [View Full Entry]

We're a bit relieved to be married again. We were worried about losing our wedding rings during our travels so we left them at home in Adrian's mum's completely indestructible safe. Although we'd planned on picking up some inexpensive wedding bands before leaving San Francisco, we didn't get around to it and so have been ringless until today. It's a weird feeling and we each keep playing absentmindedly with our ring fingers. Thankfully, our nearby mall came to the rescue with some cheapie options - so for $2 US (Angelique) and $9 US (Adrian) we are now again joined in blissful [View Full Entry]
