Malaysia!

Dear Tinkers,

So here is a summary of things that I saw/felt on the way to, in, and coming back from Malaysia:

• Woke up at 2:45 AM to take a quick shower (fell asleep finally at 11 after packing for a quick trip to Malaysia in my carry on)
• Realized that a carry on was a bit excessive and transferred everything into the tote bag
• Waited for an hour for my ride to come (he woke up at the time he was supposed to pick me up). I was really worried about being alone on the road so late at night and tried to look fierce. Unfortunately, the appearance of a cockroach destroyed the facade.
• Picked up the other two members of the team and set off for Malaysia.
• Went through the two immigration offices. Fell asleep for an hour or two (not nearly enough to compensate, as I would eventually learn)
• Fell in love with rubber trees! There are palm tree plantations everywhere (palm oil), but on the outside near the roads are just a bunch of cute little rubber trees. I want to grow one, but I have no sunlight in my 'hotel room'.
• Arrived in KL and saw the 'twin towers' (which used to be the tallest in the world). Ran through the highway to the office.
• Sat down in the conference room and talked for a while and then lunch break.
• Buffet-style of Malay food. It was all right. Nothing special.
• Back to the office to talk a bit more and delegate tasks. I received a substantial amount of work :p.
• Went to the hotel and took a nice, long nap.
• Ate dinner of chicken strips and french fries (regretting now that I didn't order the grilled lamb) :'(
• Woke up to have some breakfast. Left around noon and made several pit stops along the way. Ate KFC for dinner.
  
• Something that I don't like about Malay buffet food is the fact that there are always a lot of flies everywhere (luckily, no mosquito bites this time - knock on wood!)
• Came back at 1:30 AM. Couldn't fall asleep.

Pictures are up on facebook and picasa.

Love,
