Day One, Kuala Lumpur

Here are some shots from day one in Kuala Lumpur.

It's really a pretty amazing, organized place. Jeff and I hung out, mostly we just went to Petronas Towers, but the Skybridge tickets were all sold out for the day.

The infrastructure here is great. My iPhone connects to their third generation network quite well, and as it is hacked I can surf the web for less than a penny a minute. Amazing that I can do that in Malaysia but not back home. The super-modern sky train is wonderful. Remind me again why Malaysia can afford these kinds of things but San Antonio and Austin can't? Oh, yeah, SUVs.

There are a lot of shots in this pool. Lots of the towers, reflections, and this beautiful bird we caught a shot of feeding off the nectar from flowers.

He's the prettiest one I've seen yet here in South East Asia.

I just got word a few minutes ago that my boat will be delayed a day, so I get an extra day here. But I don't know how to get a hold of Jeff. I guess I'm back on my own. Jeff was a cool guy, really enjoyed hanging with him in the Highlands and here in KL today. I'll miss him when I leave as he is headed to Australia, but I know I have a friend for life and our paths will cross again. Of that I am certain!

The bird looks a bit like a version of a goldfinch.

You look happy.

I love the reflections of the Petronas towers.

My family has wonderful photos of the two tallest buildings in Shanghai.

I was getting a bit worried about you, Sean Paul. I get worried when I don't hear from you for two days. Not to be motherly, because, of course, I know you can handle anything in the world. Just to say I get a bit worried...

It might be about more than just the SUVs, there are some deep pockets in pork barrel politics as well.
