Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

For some reason only the title of my last two postings showed up without any of the actual content I wrote. Hopefully this problem has been solved. They weren't incredibly interesting blog entries so no one missed out.

Basically, with my mom's help, I was able to play with my remaining plane tickets to adjust my Thailand and Australia flights a bit. That left me with a few extra days to play with in SE Asia. I found an inexpensive flight down to Malaysia. I had another long day of transit, killing time at the airport in Bangkok waiting for my flight. It is a strange feeling to be completely relaxed and care-free at the airport. While everyone else is hustling to get their bags or meet up with family members, I leisurly stroll through the airport unconcerned, and in a strange way almost hoping for a delay. A slight delay means less time I have to spend sitting on uncomfortable airport chairs.

Arrived late last night in Kuala Lumpur and am now stranded indoors because of a thunderstorm. I was hoping to explore some of the hill regions just north of Malaysia's capital but it seems i have chosen the wrong time of year. I will check out the city this evening and tomorrow before taking the night train to Singapore. Two days in Singapore and then fly back to Bangkok to catch my 9 hour flight to Melbourne.

Everyone should try out the recipe that my Aunt Kristin was kind enough to post under comments on the last blog entry. If you are feeling lazy, go to a Thai restaurant and order a Thai Iced Tea... you won't be dissapointed!
