In the last week I have worked on a perfect-binding machine, climbed to the top of Bukit Jam­bul, got­ten drunk at Slip­pery Senior­i­tas, taken the ele­va­tor to the top floor of KOMTAR, explored the strange water-centric world of the Clan Jet­ties, eaten a meal off a palm leaf, and out­run two wild dogs on my morn­ing jogs.

It’s the dry sea­son here, so all the Malaysians are com­plain­ing about how hot the weather is. I had a cab­driver this morn­ing admit that he’d love to see snow. Wimps.

I think I’m ready to come home. But first, an action-packed Sun­day adven­ture with stops in Penang and Singapore.
