Flashback to Winter Vacation:
We were in Mumbai for only a day, but we managed to see a lot.
Our travels brought us to Malaysia next. It was like we were in America. There were more American chains and brands than India has to offer. Some things were quite cheap, while others were average or overpriced. We saw Mission Impossible 4 for about $3. The movie was in English with two different languages of subtitles.
We ate lots of beef to make up for lost time. Despite my lack of love for most of the American chains I saw, I enjoyed getting McFlurry's for about $1 and seeing American chains like Krispy Kreme, A&W, Wendy's, and Starbuck's. We spent a lot of time in malls, did minimal shopping, ate well, and saw a few sites.
We stayed at a great Hostel in Chinatown and enjoyed roaming around trying to get cheap knockoffs, but we never succeeded. The hostel was great because it had A/C, free coffee and tea, and a great lounge to watch movies on a huge TV. A nice change of pace from our previous travels.
We then got on another jet plane and headed to Cambodia. This would be a great change of pace because it was cheap, but it was also quite dirty. We saw the obligatory Angkor Wat Temples and headed to the beach.
Then we flew to Bangkok and saw a big Buddha.

Here I am enjoying an Oreo McFlurry.
We celebrated New Year's Eve at Petrona's Towers in Kuala Lumpur.
