Re: [OGD] Travel to Malaysia and southern (peninsular)
Hi there, As part of the 50 years of Nationhood celebrations this year Johor Bahru (down by Singapore) is putting on a large open air international orchid show in Danga Bay, central Johor Bahru. They have invited us as well as another 10 - 20 other countries and regions to take part. It starts on May 25th and runs through to May 27th. I realise it is the wrong time of the year for you Lee but check out the other states - they may well have something going on. Goggle 'Visit Malaysia' and I'm sure you'll find something.

Re: [OGD] Travel to Malaysia and southern (peninsular)
Thank you Ross Susan, Did I meet you, Ross, at the IPA Symposium in Taiwan? Dinner at the Cantonese place with the Stubbings? The 50 Year Celebration sounds like it will be great. I won't be able to move the date up but that is a great idea to look for another event. My December trip to "get my feet wet" in SE Asia was on the occassion of the Thai King's anniversary. Are you familiar with the best month to visit East Malaysia's Mt Kinabalu and Mulu parks? You are in New Zealand. My brother in law has been interested in purchasing property there.
