I’m currently in Kuala Lumpur visiting a friend of mine from my undergraduate days. I’ve been meaning to visit Yap for years, and since Kualu Lumpur is only a five hour bus ride from Singapore, I finally was able to make the trip here. I’ve really enjoyed Malaysia so far, Yap and his girlfriend Sue-Ling have been taking me all around to see the sights.

It is strange for me because this is the first time my Christmas and New Year’s celebrations have been hot and sweaty. I’m not sure that I’m cut out for this sort of humidity, and the sun certainly doesn’t work well with me.

I have enjoyed the nice internet access that I’ve been able to pick up in the coffee shops though.
