After a

Penang, Malaysia (March 2006 edition). Now with an experimental new

Had hoped you’d get to Kuala Lumpur, too: lots of interesting things to be seen and experienced there, too – and (aw, shucks!) you would have been tempted to use color, glad to report: the place and the surroundings scream “ROYGBI!” and “Paint this!”
