Got to Kuala Lumpur... Relaxation seems to be the key

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia


So for those people that I didn't enlighten in the past few months I have deicded that it is time to pack the pack again and head off. This time I hope that I'm going to see a little bit more of, well... the world this time instead of just sunny old London, sharing a trip with my lovely is going to help so much, we're super-ma-dooper excited.

Finally met up with Sarah after being apart for like 3 months, which was mega-crappy to be apart, but so good to come back together. Those of you who have not kept up with her travel blog, please check it out cause she has some amazing photos and stories:

For some reason Sarah doesn't want to drink Foster's while she's away, but I guess that's alright considering that everyone in the world drinks better beer than fosters. Apart from the easy to fool people who still believe that fosters isn't a bi-product of making vegemite anyways.

At the moment this is the trip that we are doing before I go to Canada. That's right, Vancouver, should be a little bit of a laugh I'm sure. I am concerned that Cananda has the second highest concentration of French "people" outside of France, but I don't plan on telling them that I'm English, so it should be fine. I am also concerned that they have something called "pootine"that it is alleged is some sort of food, but hell, these days anything with the word poo in it scares me. Not like the days when poo was a funny word. Nope, those ended on the 31/12/2005, so we'll have to see how we go.

Now so far since arriving in Kuala Lumpur I have:

1) Stuck to Sarah like glue cause I haven't seen her for so long
2) Gotten back to sleeping around about 12 hours per day and being somewhat nocturnal, which has proved a problem because Sarah has had to lug me around everywhere like a minki whale carcass when I've been asleep
3) Insulted a little man in a stall at Jalan Petling (which is like the China town area) cause I said a price and then when he tried to rip us off I made him give me the rest of the change.

Otherwise the cultural experience has been limited.... HOWEVER, we are going to art galleries tomorrow and having more of the local cuisine I hope!

Hope you guys can get the chance to read the blog/s while we're away! Hope they keep you entertained as well. Anything embarrassing that happend will end up here I'm sure. Sarah will tell the funny stories too I'm dreading her more accurate recounting than mine...

Bloke, is that a picture of a turnip ...? Anyways, great to see you made it OKI, and you sound happier than you have been for months. I'm telling Tell's about the name T-Rex (oh the fun we'll have with that) and tell Sarah she is right. Fosters is not for Australians, it's our export beer that we give to
foreginers so we can negotiate land for beads and the like. Be well both of you.

Hey stinky Tom

good to see you are enjoying yourself Minky Whale style OS. Do you plan to get enormous and blubbery too? That would be simply amazing.

bon voyage (though its a little late for that)
