They're in Malaysia until April too but they're based much closer to where we spent last winter. Penang is about 300 kilometers from Kuala Lumpur. We caught them as they had recent connecting flights through the airport here and were staying with relatives.
They came to our studio apartment just in time for us to head to lunch. For the first time, we ate at restaurants just across the road. A number of different vendors share an area with common tables. Of course, as usual, I gravitate toward a place which sells biryani. I definitely missed that in Bali.
They didn't have long but hadn't been over to the Masjid Jamek area recently. The 'River of Life' walkway along the confluence of the rivers has really improved the area making it much more of a must-see for visitors. I am glad we had the little walk there with them.
