Leaving Malaysia

At last!

To say that I am behind schedule would be a bit of an understatement. I think it's safe to say that I will not be coming home by rail from Beijing now... Hopefully onto Hong Kong by December and home from there. Well, back to Europe at least. I still intend to hang out with Marielle and Francisco in Paris, and what increasingly seems like half of Dublin in London (Well, the two people who read this most at least).

Right now, I'm on Penang, in Georgetown to be precise, but not for the beaches or sightseeing or anything like that. For the bus to Krabi. I've heard there is good rock climbing there.

I should be honest; this is the only post on this blog with the real date. Everything else was posted tonight, although some were half written earlier. I've posted them with he dates when the events took place to keep everything in order.

I'll sign off with a picture from the largest Buddhist temple in Malaysia.

A scene reminiscent of my teaching in Koyasan, deer, attentive students and all!
