Today I feel deserves another blog, less on my activity and more on my thinking. I've now been in Malaysia for two days and I think I'm in love. I'm aware my rants about the Thai people have soared to an almost xenophobic level but I just wanted to make ammends. I'm not racist and generally I can get on with most people but I challenge anyone to find a southern Thai person to befriend! The Malaysians on the other hand...they are a beautiful and harmonious people!

Walking the streets you see peoples from every creed, colour and religion living together. There is no hostility towards westerners, no money grabbing and bad mouthing - everyone is equal. Today I have been approached by Muslims, Hindus and Christians simply wanting to help or practice their English. I have been regaled with stories of trips to London decades ago and personally I love it. I feel part of a global community rather than a parasite. Anyone contemplating travelling should sack off Thailand and embrace Malaysia - it has all the beauty at half the price, more bang for your buck!
