Harmony Street in Penang - named such because of the mosque, chinese temple, church and hindu temple which can all be found within a few meters of each other. The world has something to learn from this place. :) We headed to Penang after the Tsunami and the city was totally untouched. Most of the Malaysian damage was on several small islands off the coast.

ok, so the obvious resolution is to post more often. but more importantly, i think my blog has gotten b-o-r-i-n-g so i resolve to make it NOT BORING :) unless of course, it's always been boring, in which case it can only get better right?

oh yeah, and stop rambling so much.
