The last week we’ve been able to get into Asia, just across the equator into the nation of Malaysia. It’s the first time I’ve flown into a non-english speaking nation. Though, in general, you find that most can speak enough English to enable you to order what you need when for example buying food or groceries.

My wife and I have been staying with family in the city of Penang. It has been a wonderful holiday with many new experiences such as visiting Buddhist temples, tropical gardens or even the local markets and even seeing some of the highly visited street art of Penang.

More to come…
