This place is a photographer's dream come true, it has everything you can imagine, ancient buildings, modern buildings, fishermen, all kinds of "people activities" and colour! Colour...colour, out of your mind colour! It's a duty free island of Malaysia, that I thought would be a great location for the Leica distributor to set-up shop. Lure equipment hungry Leica enthusiasts to as a great place to use your Leica, while at the same time, "buy duty free!" :) Well OK, if you just flew in for a duty free M6 body purchase, it wouldn't be a big deal. But go for a ten day, Kuala Lumper, Langkawi, Malaysia photo excursion, it would be a winner for everyone, dealer and photographer. And folks that's as far as it got. I still think it's a good idea simply from the photographic potential of incredible white sand beaches, brilliant blue water and skies, colourful fishing boats, you name it and it's all in a friendly country. This is the kind of location you take a minimum of a 100 rolls of your favourite slide film because you'll be burning at least ten rolls a day and come home with a million dollars worth of images. So MC there you have it, but I'm saving it for my retirement project.;) ted Ted Grant This is Our Work. The Legacy of Sir William Osler. http://www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant
