Malaysia and Borneo Bound

Malaysia, here I come!

Tonight I board a 17 hour flight for Kuala Lumpur, the capital and largest city in Malaysia. A river boat cruise on Melaka river, dinner at a Portuguese settlement, a trishaw ride, a trip to an elephant sanctuary, a stop off at the Batu caves and taking pictures of the Petronas Twin Towers, the tallest twin buildings in the world, begins my adventure. From there I fly to Kuching, the capital and the largest city on the island of Borneo for the International Rainforest Music Festival. I'll be enjoying a once-in-a-lifetime event with musicians from around the world, like Japan's Hiroshi Motofuji, Greece's Ross Daly and India's Oikyotaan.

I'm telling you this is going to be some crazy sh**! If time permits I'll even try to score a quick trip to Manila in the Philappines and see my good friend Camilla. She's a Saratoga native but joined the peace corp years ago and fell in love with Indonesia's people and cuisine. She now works for an international relocating company and is thriving. For the next 12 days I'll find out if I can feel the same. Stay tuned.
