Lisa Sciambra Andrew Steyn Two New Yorkers (one native, one South African) who decided to put our ¨normal¨ lives on hold for about a year and see the world. Without much of an agenda, we quit our jobs, gave up our apartment, and left behind all but what we could fit into two backpacks in hopes of expanding our minds, broadening our horizons, and possibly creating a new sense of normal for ourselves.

Burmese Python

Hold... Hold...just trying to get focus..hmm, should i use the other lense...stop squirming...is the light right.... "HURRY THE F*&K UP ANDY!!!!!!" hahahahahahahahaha

Batu Caves

The roof of one of the temples. The contrast between intracate human creation and expansive natural creation was compelling (did that sound like i knew what i was talking about or what!!) ...lots of pretty colors in the hole in the mountain

Batu Caves

Getting the light setting all wrong on the camera. you'll not note the beautiful caves in the background

Monkey mommy

The caves are well guarded by monkeys

Petronas Twin towers

Currently the 3rd Highest in the world.

Jungle walk

There is a genuine jungle in the middle of KL, with genuine dangerous critters

Silver Langur

Checking us out from his jungle perch in the middle of KL

KL skyline

As cities go, KL is highly developed and relatively very clean with lots of green.

Street tiolet

Spotless, air conditioned, spacious and all of 7cents per flush

Street Food

We had a delicious lunch at a hawker stand for 10.50 ringits or around 3 bucks. We could have gone to Fridays across the street for a crappy hamburger for 25 bucks

Petronas Mall

The mall at the base of the Petronas towers is Up Up Up scale. Lee pointed out some nice stuff at Cartier, I pointed out some nice men she'd have to marry!

Petronas Towers

Goal posts on steriods

Bob Marley bar

Wherever you go on this planet, Bob's music has been there first. The guy is truly universal

Laksa Fish

This is it. THE fish!!! It looks so ordinary, yet as I look at the picture, the memories are flooding back and I'm drooling on the keyboard.

The fish before

simply put, the greatest tasting fish meal in the history of the world

The fish after

The remnants. At this point i was full and wondering how to get the camera back onto it's color setting

The kitchen

The kitchen of the hawker stand we fell in love with. Still haven't figured out the camera

Lee

Digesting and figuring out how to squeeze the recipe out of the owner

Penang

One of the local mosques. You'll find shrines, mosques and temples. A true mix of cultures leading to excellent food

Penang

One of the little shrines in Little India
