It definately was a blast from the past, I actually remembered more than I thought I would. I go back every 4-5 years but due to the health issues of my relatives, this one gave us more of a chance to look at where we use to live and so on.

And you're right, where the locals go is usually the best, my dad's rule is to go where there's lots of people. But as I said, the quality of ingredients is pretty poor so don't be expecting anything too great.

Hope it at least was interesting for some of you guys to see the contrast between a place like KL which is almost like any modern city, and a quiet town like Melaka which is still largely untouched (for now...).

I may or may not be going again every year or so now, I think I could deal with an uncomfortable flight for 8hrs if it's cheap.

8hrs?! Piece of cake!

I would sit the 20hrs or so it would take me to visit. I have been to Southeast Asia, Japan and to many places where I have flown for over 20hrs straight. Totally worth the ride!

And we share some of the same adversity. I am a Catholic as is my mother who converted from Buddhism. Her side of the family are very Buddhist and my Father was a die-hard Roman Catholic. Did I mention that my Father was born and raised in Dublin Ireland and my bother was born and raised in Rangoon, Myanmar (Burma). But I enjoy both cultures and haven't a problem with either religion. I believe, like languages are different so are religions, we may celebrate and pray differently, but we're all speaking to the same Guy upstairs! Thus we are all brothers!

Just my philosophy!

And I was schooled by the Jesuits!

How was the nightlife there? And good music places?

Thanks for the Pics Ken, I almost feel like I was there !

I get the same way nostalgic when I visit the part of Brooklyn NY where I grew up as well.
