Differences in Malaysia

I never expected such a difference the second you cross a border, but there definitely was. Malaysia immediately seems like a wealthier country, or at least better run. Roads, cities, public places all seem to be better kept, the countryside is much greener, the language has changed and everyone seems to be able to speak flawless English.

Even though we were heading directly south, when you cross the border you enter a new time zone. We didn't realise this for a couple of days. It was kinda funny because we were a bit spaced out from all the travelling, so we were convinced that all the clocks were wrong and it was us that had the right time, until it dawned on us eventually that it might be the other way around.

There are huge Chinese and Indian populations here too, which means I can get even tastier food here now!
