I recently traveled to Malaysia as part of my National Day Holiday break. Malaysia sits just above the Equator, so the weather was warm and sunny throughout most of the trip.
I traveled with five other people from my English teaching program — Leah, Steph, Katie, Katie and Al. Here’s a rundown of what happened, along with a few of the 200+ photos I took while there.
Day 1: A night at the “Fook Kiu” Mansion in Hong Kong
After what seemed like hours of filling out immigration and health forms, our group made it to the New Territories. Having spent two months on the mainland, it was refreshing to find signs in English and restaurants that weren’t just Chinese or McDonald’s. At night, we celebrated Leah’s birthday before returning to our interestingly named hostel.
We spent the night at the "Fook Kiu" Mansion. And I used to think signs like these only appeared in photoshopped memes.
