Postcards from Malaysia

I have literally walked in the door to my home after a lightening, exciting trip away to Kuala Lumpur.  The weekend was a like a tasting plate of what this Asian city has to offer and I, for one, would love to go back some time and approach it all at a more leisurely pace.

In fact it’s Malaysia’s leisurely pace that has stuck firmly in my mind. Without exception across the weekend, if something was scheduled for a certain time, it didn’t start for another hour. Now, that’s a way to really slow down and stop the frantic pace we set throughout the year.

And as I was back before any postcards could have possibly made it to Australia, I thought I’d share some of my “postcards” with you here. You know, just so you knew I was thinking about you.

I took my post-flight cankles straight to the day spa

Even though Malaysia has a large Muslim population, Christmas is very much in evidence

Dumplings for breakfast? I say, yes please. I could eat them all day

I was quite taken with the curtains on our tour bus. Reminded me of my bedspread as a child

Lilly pad sculptures at the National Monument (Tugu Negara), which was built to recognise and honour those who gave up their lives in the cause for peace and freedom

Did someone say shopping? Lose yourself at the Suria KLCC

And sometimes the best part of shopping is seeing what others wear to shop

The View, G Tower roof top club. Cool tunes, great vibe and a view to remember

Are you heading off on a trip soon – near or far? Where are you heading? Do you still send real postcards?
