NEW ANGLE
Not seen this angle for the Petronas Towers before...though I would not expect the usual from you guys...so you had met Ali before TBs 10th B'day on 8 April 2011 when we met you guys...keep safe & well to you all.

It was so great to meet you, Faye, Nate and Gabe!
I had a great time meeting you all, showing you the nerve center of travelblog. Sadly you were the last visitors to the now closed TravelBlog towers! All the best from Silicon Valley :)

Bad memories of that road!
We were the only ones not throwing up on that journey when we did it...there was lots of deep breathing and trying to look at the horizon (difficult when the bus was zig zagging so much!) - we felt battered when we arrived in KL. Although if we had drunk gallons on strawberry milk before the trip all bets would have probably been off too ;). As you say isn't it easier to just build the road straight in the first place?! Nice to see a 'new' blog from you, hope you are all well and settled back into life.

I remember the road from Tanah Rata to Tapah well...
I threw up almost every time I drove up or down the mountain. It was worse riding in a taxi with durian smells. I counted the number of curves, but have since forgotten the number. Living in Tanah Rata was like living on an island as I was psychologocally isolated from the rest of Malaysia; not wanting to take the road ever again! Thanks for the description of your time with Ali. Of course, since then he has moved to the States, so I hope to see him when he comes to Colorado. And thanks for posting the date of your trip rather than when you wrote the blog. It puts things in perspective when one is taking a long trip. Of course, after a trip is long over sometimes it is better to go with themes. So with the map you posted I have a sense of where you are off to next before you returned to the UK where you are now.

ONE FOR THE FAMILY ALBUM
Nate & Gabe...one for the ages...nice stroll through Malaysia in your blog...great pics as always...keep in touch.

Wow
This is one of the best images I have seen in a while. The boulders in the foreground look like they are right in front of the camera until you notice the person standing on them. The whole thing has a surreal beauty. Enjoy!

The colors are brilliant. I remember seeing the one on your arm, Michael, and must say that the color was even more vibrant in real life. Both tats are impressive. :)

Nice tats
Proves that it pays off to do your proper research before getting ink done. Apparently you found a great tattoo artist in a country where the majority of Westerners seems to get 'farang' or 'stupid tourist' in Thai script scratched into their skin on some Southern Thai island by one of the many untalented, unscrupulous hacks out there. Congrats on that! Cheers, Jens

wow!
That is a seriously beautiful tattoo - how could anyone deny they are works of art when they see something like this?!

Beautiful :)
What awesome work - Faye I have my ribs to kidney area tattoo'd too so I can relate to how much you went through - brave woman! Michael, 12 hour sessions - you're slightly crazy but the resulting pics are worth it. Great blog about tattooing really enjoyed reading this. Whats next?
