Whilst visiting the Maritime Museum in Malaka, housed inside this mock up of an old Portuguese ship, we discovered a film crew making a Pakistani movie, Pirates of the Carribbean style. High health and saftey standards meant that we had to leg it past the flying stunt men sometime after the director shouted cut.

The Supreme Court in Kuala Lumpur. Built by the Brits to lock up the pesty locals.


The view from the imaginatively named Sky Tower in Kuala Lumpur. It's eerm, the fifth highest tower in the world. Maybe.

The Petronas Towers, Kuala Lumpur. The purging of the local environment for more and more oil is evidently a source of considerable national pride. They are kind of big.

The Batu Caves, a short way outside Kuala Lumpar, a massive Hindu shrine and temple area. In some enormous caves. So important is this site that only one huge tacky tourist shop blasting out the best of Bollywood pop was permitted inside the cave itself, creating a particularly serene atmosphere.
