It's the final countdown

After being on the road for 62 days, visiting 6 city's in 4 countries it's now time to travel back home to Europe and Stockholm.

Top 4 things we will miss when back in Stockholm (in no particular order)

• Restaurant prices - there is no problem going from starving to full for 8 SEK (3 PLN).
• Laundry service - so cheap you almost feel ashamed when paying.
• Service minded and genuinely nice Malaysian people.
• Freshly squeezed orange juice - from 5 SEK (2 PLN) a glass.

Top 4 things we now love about Sweden (in no particular order)

• Drinkable tap water.
• Right-side traffic without the jams.
• Fast Internet connection.
• Tunnbrödrulle

Top 4 things we won't miss about Malaysia (in no particular order)

• Being followed around in stores by sales clerks
• The traffic jams
• The lizards
• The Absolute Music 5 CD (or whatever was hot 25 years ago) that all stores insists on repeating over and over again.
  

Most useless thing we packed
Socks. Last time we wore socks it was still January.

Best restaurant we found in Malaysia
La Sal at Pantai Cenang, Langkawi. We have been there 3 times and between the two of us we must have tried half of the dishes on the menu. So it feels safe to say that you can't go wrong at this place. Don't miss out on the drinks either!

Central Market, Kuala Lumpur

Housed in a sky blue Art Deco building dating from the 1930s, the Central Market or the Cultural Bazaar as it's also known, was formerly the place to go to for the people of Kuala Lumpur when they needed fresh produced food. Today the market focuses more on shopping with Indian, Chinese and Malay ethnic arts and craft shops. Prices never seem unreasonable here but we were told that you have to put your game face on as haggling is necessary. We didn't shop much for ourself per se but we did dig up some great (we hope) finds for close ones back home.

Surroundings of our hotel, just round the corner from the five star Sheraton hotel and suddenly you are hit with these great contrasts.
