  3. I lived in southern Thailand for years and travelled to Malaysia and Singapore for my visas and visited friends on a regular basis. Singapore is a huge shopping centre and I found it extremely modern with Orchard Road having miles of glass and marble shopping malls. They were in the process of tearing down most areas with historical significance and character and replacing it more shopping centres.

    I really enjoyed Malaysia with it's mixture of Chinese and Malay characteristics. I loved the Malay food. Tasty and cheap. MoMack is right about the beautiful islands and beaches on the northeast coast. Malaysia has very conservative muslim towns throughout the country but especially on the eastern sides. Hiking in the Cameron Highlands in north central Malaysia was fantastic. Incredible scenery and wonderful treks through the tea plantations. I found travel around Malaysia cheap, and easy.

    Seriously bad idea to think about doing any kind of recreational drugs in either country. If you're looking for something more relaxed head up to Thailand. I lived on the beach of Railay in the province of Krabi. It's gone way upscale since I was there but there's still cheaper places further along the coast.

    Safe & Wonderful Travels! :)

  4. Oh......I thought this said' date=' "Great Porn"[/quote']

    Hee hee..me too! But then I realized what it really said and that's why I looked at this thread. I wasn't looking for porn. Really.

    Me three! Except I really was looking for great porn. D-I-S-A-P-P-O-I-N-T-M-E-N-T! :)

  5. I got tired of the crazy looks and lectures on getting myself armed that when asked I would reply 'Well' date=' I'd be insane not to have a gun.'[/quote']

    And that's better than being insane WITH a gun?

    I still don't get how having a gun in your possession truly makes you any safer than without. I know there are cases where people truly have defended themselves, but at what ratio to incidents where it simply incited more violence that otherwise may not have occurred?

    In my experience I found that simply the fear of the probability of the other person being armed prevents most people from causing problems. I found it really sad that many of the Americans I met live in fear and would not have been friendly to me if they hadn't noticed my Canadian plates.

  6. what the hell is a loaded gun doing under a bed?

    It's the States - that's what they do. They play hide and seek with loaded guns.

    Mud's dad married a lady from Ohio - I found a loaded gun under her couch the first time we went down to visit.

    That's nuts. uhhh...what were you doing under her couch? You loaded too? :)

    Last Gratefulfest I had a conversation with some Americans about guns and they refused to believe that I don't know anyone in Canada that owns a gun. I also found that while traveling in the States no one believed that I was traveling alone on a motorcycle without a gun. I got tired of the crazy looks and lectures on getting myself armed that when asked I would reply 'Well, I'd be insane not to have a gun.'
