Penang is a big history island, has been ruled under British, Japanese, so the city is full of British color. So many Chinese here that street signs are more than half are in Chinese. And there is many food courts, every mile long, there's food court, mainly Chinese food, some Indian food, very little are Malayian and Thai. Taking bus can go places you want, but there's no bus station names, don't know how locals figure out where to get out...

Kinabalu Park (Sabah)

This is very famous world's largest flower "Rafflesia", only in this area of the world, local people cannot even grow it outside this wild area. The flower bloom for 6 days, today, it was 4th day. It's getting smelly, smells like a dead animal, full of flies inside the flower. Very rare to see it...

Right next to this river, Rafflesia bloomed on the ground, no leaf, no trunk, we walked about 20 munites thru tropical rainforest to visit it

See the ball there? That's the next flower, it will bloom next year
