---- The Five Foot Way of Georgetown Penang ----

Georgetown Penang in Malaysia is one of best preserved colonial cities in Asia. The city is dominated with shophouses from the 19th and early 20th century in varying states of conservation.



Every shophouse has a five foot way (kaki-lima), which is a sheltered walkway in front of each shop front. As the name suggests the walkways are five foot across, providing shelter from the tropical heat (and downpours).

---- Wicked Camper Review ----

Air travel in Australia is a convenient way to get between the capitals, but you will only see cities doing this. To experience the rest of Australia, a road trip is the best way to go.

---- The Tall and Beautiful Prambanan Temple Complex ----

Prambanan is a complex of Hindu temples near Yogyakarta in central Java. It is the largest Hindu remnant in Java and it is billed as "the Tallest and Most Beautiful, Largest Hindus Temple in the World".

While I haven't been to enough Hindu temples to vouch for it's most beautiful claim, it certainly is grand in its size and detail.
