Getting ready to jet off,
Today was my first crack at a couple of local dishes for breakfast. Philthy recommended I try Roti Canai (pronounced "chan-i") and Nasi Lemak. In all honesty, I can say it was not a bad feed at all – fresh, filling and wholesome.
I couldn't believe how cheap dining out in Malaysia is. Four of us went for breakfast and with drinks it came to about $11.00 AUD for the lot of us.
As school holidays in Malaysia had officially started, Philthy, Jodes, Kasie, Wendy and myself spent most of the day prepping for getting up at 4 o'clock in the morning and then flying out to Hanoi, in the north of Vietnam.
Last minute things like a small first aid kit, mosquito bands, toiletries, Vietnamese currency as well as sorting out clothes, cameras and gadgets, seemed to fill most of the day.
