Spuds
I grew some potatoes, just to see if it could be done. They were planted slightly late, but I was very happy with the results. Next year I will plant earlier.
Penang, Malaysia
As my one year visa had almost expired I had to leave the country, I ended up going to Malaysia rather than going back to England. Malaysia appeared to be clean (free of litter) and planned (no eyesore electric cables), as opposed to a lot of Thailand, I dont mean that to sound nasty to Thailand, but litter isnt seen as a problem by most Thai people. Throwing a bottle away in Thailand is not a problem as within the hour someone will pick it up, and get a small amount of money for recycling it.
Georgetown, Penang was more expensive than Thailand (especially my village), but it was very pleasant. The people seemed extremely friendly. The food good. The hotel was good.
My trip was short, 30hrs, but I went sightseeing on the first afternoon. The tall tower, the fort, buddhist temples (though the country is mostly muslim I believe) etc.
What made the trip very enjoyable was the company, I met Chris (German) and Pierre (French), we spent our time sightseeing, playing pool, eating and drinking.
