A bit of rain to lift the gloom

Have not been posting lately,you can attribute my lack of enthusiasm  over lost flight MH370.

 Does that put a damper on my travel plans ? No. Well, maybe it WILL influence the destinations that I might have on my wish list.China is out of the question currently, too much crazy shit going on there.

Anyway, It just rained in Penang today. The air is much, much cooler. Yes, that's big news. And just after the heavy pounding turned down to a steady drizzle, the sound of Moslem prayers enveloped the neighbourhood.  

There any significance in that ? None to me, because I'm not a Moslem but I just thought some of you might wanna know and can read into the significance of showers before the call for prayer. 

Growing up in Malaysia, it gives me a sense of comforting familiarity  to hear the sound of Moslem prayers especially when I'm on an airplane or overseas.

But while I'm in no way anti-Semitic nor influenced by Islamophobia what I do know is that any destination to China until they can clear up the Uyghur mess, is currently off radar for me.
