It is our last day in Malaysia before setting off on the long journey home to Crispy HQ via Bombay.
Malaysia has, like Vietnam, been amazing. From the city life of Kl to the serenity and beauty of Pangkor to the vibrancy and colourful Georgetown we have travelled the length of this brilliant country. There are still many places inland that we need to see but we can save those for another adventure. Crispy has loved this place and has put it on her favourites list. That’s no surprise as every country in SE Asia we have ever been to is on the same list.
Today was a local day so we mopped up the sites around Georgetown we had not yet seen and stopped for a couple of drinks to celebrate the end of our main adventure. As we strolled around the old city we saw several Lion dances and different rituals connected with the new year. Crispy was lucky enough to catch a tangerine from the Lions mouth. A sure sign of prosperity in the coming year.
I am ignorant to Chinese religion and culture and have made a note to myself to try and learn more before we return. I did notice that a lot of Chinese people were
wearing Micky Mouse T shirts. At first we didn’t see the connection but now it is obvious. They see Micky Mouse as Micky the Rat and as it is the year of the Rat it fits perfectly. Good old Micky the Rat... Disney would spin......
We had a few things to sort today such as the confirmation of the flight to KL and the connecting flight to Mumbai. Also the E Visa for India came through today and it was a bit off a faff to get it printed out for tomorrow. We were lucky it came through in time or it would have been a bit crazy trying to get onward flights that avoided India at such short notice. It didn’t matter though God is good and we would have sorted an alternative if necessary. Indian immigration is s nightmare and they will not accept digital copies of any documentation. We arrive into Mumbai late and need to clear immigration as soon as possible without any messing around to get to our beds.
This evening we went back to the Hawkers market to eat. As expected it was superb. I counted the stalls an in total there are over 500 items on the various menus to choose from. I don’t think you could ever get bored of eating here. Plus the entertainment is interesting. Think Miss Saigon meets Pontins on acid. Still I had my photo taken with Mickey the Rat. Result
Late start tomorrow as it’s a long day travelling to India and the wonders of Bombay
