Buying fruits at rest-stop on the highway heading up to Penang. So much variety, so many colors...and for a guy used to paying close to couple of bucks for an apple in Japan, mind-blowingly cheap.
I found the rest-area to be quite interesting. Aside from the various fruitstands, restrooms, and fast food restaurants at this highway rest area was a place for washing up and doing ones daily prayers. As Malaysia is an Islamic country, all highway rest-stops are equipped with such facilities.
Hiro posing heroically before the entrance to a Buddhist temple carved out of the face of a mountain in Ipoh . At the back of the temple was the entrance to a complex of caves which we spent the afternoon exploring (for a small fee of course). Since nobody else was there, we were free to throw off our (admittedly thin) facades of being grown men and run around the caves like little boys pretending to be great adventurers.
