Unlike most people in Seattle, I've never been to Asia for work, to visit family, whatever. And quite frankly I had no interest in going. So, when Eric said he wanted to go to Borneo (more specifically Malaysia) I had some reservations.
Malaysia is a great "starter" Asian country to visit. We found that most people speak English (at least enough to complete a store transaction), most signs are in English (handly when navigating a city) and it's not too crowded/chaotic like Hong Kong or Tokyo. More blog posts to come...
