Just arrived back from my week and a half of pure joy in Malaysia. Visited family. Ate fresh fruit. Drank fresh coconut water everyday. Hiking. Seafood. Beach time. Even some dead-skin-eating piranhas. As I said before, pure joy and perfection.

| Hong Kong Airport for my layover... 3 HOURS UNTIL MALAYSIA! | 
|  | 
| A patriotic view of Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. | 
|  | 
| Sabah Tea Farm, as organic as it gets. | 
|  | 
| They named it Tom YUMMMM for a reason. | 
|  | 
| The world's most perfect pina colada. And some good company. | 
|  | 
| Fish market! | 
 
|  | 
| Gorgeous colors on that sting ray. |

|  | 
| Just a normal day at the fish market with my pink heart sunglass-rocking daschund. | 
|  | 
| Oh, yes. Bring on the papayas. | 
|  | 
| This is a stream NATURALLY populated with fish who feast on dead human skin. Yep. | 
|  | 
| Hungry fish awaiting some friends. | 
|  | 
| Nom nom. | 
|  | 
| Pa and I testing out this fish "massage." | 
|  | 
| Feast, my friends! | 
|  | 
| Nice little hike in the rain forest. | 
|  | 
| Sun bathing. | 
|  | 
| Complete tranquility. | 
|  | 
| Our waterfall discovery! |

| A delicious post-hike snack: Fluffy pancake with curry (Roti Canai), rice and preserve fish wrapped in banana leaf (Nasi Lemak), fresh squeezed carrot juice (Carrot Juice). | 
|  | 
| Coconut is a "bigger is better" kind of thing. |

| To send to Glamour Magazine: "HEY! IT'S OK..." to be vegetarian, except at dim sum. |
