For years I’ve wanted to drive on the left side of the road. The weather conspired against me in Ireland. But here in Malaysia I had my chance! I rented a car, a Proton Saga. Proton is a Malaysian manufacturer who draws technical assistance from Mitsubishi. They are active in rally racing and Formula 1. However I wouldn’t be doing any rally racing in my 1.3 liter Saga—the seemingly suicidal motorbike riders convinced me that slow and steady would carry the day.
Armed with a free tourists map I set out away from traffic up the west coast of the island with a couple of possible destinations in mind, but mostly with the aim of just hitting the road and seeing whatever there was to see.
I later found out from my regular cabbie, Zoo, that durians are a fruit that smell like “weeks old socks”.
