Happy Merdeka Day
September 1, 2007 | Written by Devin Galaudet
I am sitting in an internet cafe in Philadelphia, checking my email when I received a note from the Malaysian Tourism Board.

Hiking Pulau Tiomen, Malaysia
October 8, 2006 | Written by Devin Galaudet
Today we went on a hike up Pulau Tioman, reputed to be the most beautiful island in the world. I am not sure who gave it this designation, but it was quite interesting and very beautiful to say the least. It was a true jungle hike, with huge banyan trees, monkeys, and creeping vines everywhere. [Read more]

Perhaps, a couple of good reason’s why I jumped at the chance to attend this year’s ATF.
