In the post about Georgetown, Roland exagerated a little, saying I took 500 pictures in one day. That is not true; I merely took 128.
However, I managed to take 250 shots in Melaka, and here is why!

Nous avons pu explorer Kuala Lumpur pendant 2 jours, avant de partir vers le sud en direction de Singapour via Melaka
After a few wonderful days on the Perenthian Islands, we caught the train south to Kuala Lumpur, where we spent a couple of days before heading on to Melaka and Singapore.
(warning to the phobic: snake pictures in the article)
British colonial buildings, Indian restaurants and Chinese temples can be found almost side by side in Georgetown, Malaysia. Because of these unique features, this historical city on Penang Island was listed last year as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. We only spent one day there, but that was enough for Kath to take more than 500 pictures of this beautiful city… here’s a selection! » Read more
Shame on us! After almost two weeks in Malaysia, we still don’t know how to say “Thank You” in Malay :(
But that’s mostly because everybody speaks English!
Malay, however, uses the latin alphabet (unlike Thai or Chinese), and we did therefore learn a few words from the signs and announcements we saw.
Play with us, and see if you can translate the following Malay words in English! » Read more
We are Kathyrn and Roland
We decided to travel around the world starting in May 2009; you’ll find our story on this weblog!
We have already travelled quite a bit together, in Canada and in France, and we always got along fine…
At some point we decided to go a bit further, and got married last year… And we still get along fine!
So, it appeared to us that we’d never be readier than now to travel a whole year together, around the world ;-)
The articles of this blog can be either in French or English; most of them are NOT translated in both languages. Only a few pages and the theme are translated.
About Kath:
Kath is from Saltspring Island, British Columbia,Canada but has been living in Lyon, France for the past 3 years, learning French, teaching English and eating cheese.
Kath likes (in no particular order): hiking, camping, the ocean, pretending she is a professional photographer, Pitchoune, baking bread, BC’s west coast, Scotland, deer, funny Franglish words
About Roland:
Roland, 30, is from Lyon, France, where he’s been working for the past 3 years as an IT manager.
What Roland likes: meeting new people, wine, good food, spending time with his friends, (litterally) going to the bottom of things, seeing the best in everyone, believing that he can change the world, chocolate.
What Roland doesn’t like: fennel, jogging, inactivity, French movies, people who stay on the middle lane on the highway.
