Boys riding in a paper plane. This piece and a handful of others are throughout the historic Ipoh city area. The city has signs with the locations of the street art, making it very easy to find. Below each piece is a gold or silver plate telling you the name of the piece and where the others are located. Super handy if you are looking for them specifically!
This sleepy fishing village is a really cool place to see. Near the tiny market in the middle of the village is a concrete walking/scooter bridge that crosses the river. This is where I took this photo and is the best place to see the heart of the village.
This is the museum for the Lenggong Valley World Heritage Sites. Not surprising if you know Malaysia, but it is very hard to figure out where this is. This is the real location of the museum despite what Google will tell you. The museum is interesting but we could not figure out how to find the actual, real cave sites. We even searched using the coordinates provided on the UNESCO site but had no luck. It is rumored that you can set up a car to take you to all 4 sites from the museum. As of May 2015, here were no maps of the sites for you to take or anyone who spoke English to help you. Gorgeous drive to the museum though with a lot of cool (non UNESCO) things to do.
