I had been by the Langkawi Buffalo Park on several occasions, either driving past or running with the Hash House Harriers in the area. I finally took the time to pay them a visit and see just what they were all about. The first thing that hit my senses was the smell of sweet grass, […]
The Cliff Restaurant and Bar
The Cliff Restaurant and Bar is one of Langkawi, Malaysia’s few waterfront seafood restaurants. Moving to Langkawi from the San Francisco Bay Area sparked the feeling of adventure in my soul.
