Malaysia! I'll be back!

I’ll be back to Malaysia again soon! I need to taste different curry more.

 
Petronas Tower

Here are few reasons why I need to visit Malaysia again:

You can haggle to get to the fabled “best price". Go to china town and enjoy bargaining!

It has a good mix of westernization and the exotic east.

You can smoke cuban cigars in the Havana Club. If I’ve read the laws correctly, the legality of Americans smoking cuban cigars even in foreign countries is questionable, but happily, they don’t check your passport when you smoke one.

It’s inexpensive.


Malaysia is Not So Great Because…

Your freedom of speech is in question. Though you’re not likely to be hassled in any way by the authorities (they love tourists), I’d advise against doing your Che Guevara impersonation and loudly announcing your anti-establishment leanings.

The taxi drivers will gouge you. This is a weak one, but I’m all out of bad things to say about Malaysia.

Must places to go are Paneng and Kuala Lumpur!

The New Hobby - Wakeboarding!

Image
Last week, we went to the South, CWC (CamSur WaterSports Complex), CamSur for a short vacation that was extended for 2 more days because of the typhoon threat in the province. It was indeed the coolest weekend ever! I learned the art of wakeboarding in their cable park there. I was inspired and was able to practice some stunts and played wakeboarding with a jump start. Now, it will be my new hobby and sport. On that vacation, I realized that wake boarding was a good athletic exercise for abdomenal and body build up. I hope to do it often (with friends) as hobby. We also have witness the best Asians riders compete for the top rank in the 3rd stop of the Asian Wakepark Tour which is the 2nd Asian Wakepark Championship in CWC . We joined and watched also the premiere of Aquafrolics: A Wakeskate movie at the Poolside and party with the people there.
