Yes…it’s a fantastic place and I love the little heritage hotel I found! It’s called ‘Ren I Tang.’ The previous owners housed the oldest Chinese Medicine warehouse in Southeast Asia for 124 years….so cool! It is a guesthouse/museum!

As always your advice is perfect…just visited the temple as part of my Georgetown itinerary and loved it. I had been here before and just wandered the streets (which was magical) so it was nice to have a destination in mind. I checked your blog having faith in your advice.
Thank you!!! ????????????

I know how you feel Michelle! Eight years of exploring Southeast Asia and I don’t feel anywhere near done…

But now i’m thinking I need to add Malaysia to our list. Whenever we travel to south east asia our eyes are opened to more of the world we never even knew existed. thank you for sharing! x michelle

Now that you mention it, I think I remember that trip too! You have had some amazing experiences through work — and via your daughter dragging you around the world!

It was colorful and impressive then but so was all of Malaysia. I was struck by how well Malaysia seems to integrate Chinese, Indian and Asian cultures and religions. It is not perfect but it seems to work. Great post.

Love

Dad

Always a good reason to go back 🙂 And yes, we couldn’t stop talking about Uber! The best part too was that the drivers were awesome — we got to have some great chats!
