Away from the tourist traps it's amazing how friendly and generous these people can be. Unfortunately most Aussies only see them where the tourist dollars are and get a totally different view. We spent a couple of years in Malaysia back in the early 80's and found the same thing off the beaten track.

Just goes to show Fran that there are good people out there wherever they may be, gives one a bit of faith in human nature smile
