Actually yes it was feb. time, and yes it normally does start to spit with rain around about that time.Went there also for the white water rafting (grade 4 I think) but sods law prevailed and no rain for three months! Kota I went to and you can get a small boat ride over to small island with quite pleasant beach for a bit of R+R. Hope you enjoy karaoke because they love it and they cant sing. Nor can I funny that!!! One other thing don't they start to burn the forest about now? remember the news items about the smog in KUL and SIN last year
