From Kuala Lumpur I traveled north to the Cameron Highlands. This hill station is over 1000 meters above sea level so the temperature is cooler then the surrounding country.

Kuala Lumpur, Day 279, 280, 281, 283 & 284

From Seoul I took a flight to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I was planning on heading to Japan initially since it is so close to South Korea but I did not want to spend the Summer in Japan when it would be hot and crowded. So I decided to head back to Southeast Asia since this was the dry season in Malaysia.
