Week 50


MALAYSIA! Truly Asia.

We'd visit the Bird Park and see hornbills and other cool birds roaming around.



We'd journey to find a rafflesia- the world's largest flower!



Bonus: SINGAPORE!



Since it's so close to Malaysia we'd visit Singapore to spend a day strolling through this sparkling clean city enjoying the modern and heritage architecture it has to offer.
