"Where in the World is Carmen San Diego!?"
MalayAsia bound
From India on my way to Bali, I stopped in Malaysia for a week---
simply because the flights were half price by doing it this way.

I really loved Malaysia


Landing in a sea of green, with loads of new fruits in season.  A commonly known Dragon fruit shown here, (bright pink when ripe) grows on a cactus! I had no idea.
....humour me- I love plants.
doesn't it look jurassic? 


OH MY GOLLY!
This is the first time I found Cacao fruit sold at a fruit stand.
GOOD GLORY
