Langkawi Stray Dogs and Cats, How You Can Help

September 15, 2023 by Vanessa Workman 2 Comments

Langkawi Stray Dogs & Cats

Langkawi, Malaysia has a lot of stray dogs and cats and has had for years. It’s not a new issue. Some people complain about it, some people do what they can to help, and many don’t see it because it doesn’t affect their lives. Like many issues in the world; homelessness, starving children, domestic violence, […]

Kota Bharu’s Bank Kerapu War Museum

September 10, 2023 by Vanessa Workman Leave a Comment

Bank Kerapu War Museum & Memorial

It was Kota Bharu’s Bank Kerapu War Museum that first piqued my interest in the Japanese invasion of Malaya. Never one to be particularly interested in any history, it boggled my mind a bit to find myself suddenly fascinated by a war. It wasn’t until my first visit to this museum, that I even realized […]

Shop ‘Til You Drop in Hat Yai, Thailand

August 28, 2023 by Vanessa Workman Leave a Comment

Shopping in Hat Yai is incredible. Especially for bargain hunters. Hat Yai is the largest city in Thailand’s Songkhla Province, yet despite the numerous things to do in Hat Yai it doesn’t see nearly the western tourist traffic that its sibling cities see. But ask any Malaysian why they go to Hat Yai and the […]

All this and more […]

Tumpat’s Not-to-Be-Missed Temple Trifecta

June 23, 2023 by Vanessa Workman Leave a Comment

Best Buddhist Temples in Tumpat, Malaysia

According to more than a few online sources, there are around 25 Buddhist temples in Tumpat, Kelantan. I don’t know about that because I’ve been to Tumpat a few times and there are only three that really stand out in my memory; my Tumpat Temple Trifecta; The Standing, Sitting and Reclining Buddhist Temples. In my […]

Domitys Bangsar, You Won’t Want To Leave

June 13, 2023 by Vanessa Workman Leave a Comment

Domitys Bangsar Hotel

Domitys Bangsar had me from hello (and their unique advertising campaign). It was the image of a group of goggle wearing, ‘older’ folks toting water guns storm trooper-style, that initially caught my eye. My 50 plus peer group. My social media feeds are generally filled with so many images of young faces, that it becomes […]
