langkawi cable car

I had a fantastic time traveling around China with my brother. I thought it was super interesting and was incredibly lucky to get to go (with a Mandarin speaker, to boot!). But um, the second half of my two-week trip to Asia, the Malaysia part? It blew China out of the water.

Now, let's be fair: In China, it was firmly mid-winter. In Malaysia, it's basically summer all the time. In China, we were in big and often smoggy cities. In Malaysia, I spent about three seconds in Kuala Lumpur (known to everyone who's actually familiar with it as KL), and then Megan and I jetted off to the island of Langkawi, which, from the top of the cable car, looks like this:

  
So, you see, it was hardly a fair fight.
