KL
.
Kuala Lumpur or KL as it is known by the well traveled has one of it's busiest weekends ever........ and no not because of our my arrival but because of the Formula 1 racing event here. People from all over the globe are here to watch Schumacher c.s. perform in their Ferraris and other powerful racing cars this weekend. Commercialism abounds in this town with stands of Tag-Heuer, Mercedes Benz et alia on every side walk where you're enticed to buy whatever you can lay your hands on. 
Even our hotel "The Maya" is crammed with people but luckily they're not in the spa, where we bubble away in an oversized Jacuzzi after a day of shopping and lunching. We dine in street stalls as well as in hip lounge places (the Dry Martini's are too die for...!!) and to top it all of we indulge ourselves on chocalate cake for afters at a place called "Dôme", known here as "Do me" since it full of cruisy queens and Greg, Susan, Isaac, Paul and me of course.
Moved to the house of our friends Isaac & Tony (still in Dhaka) yesterday and tomorrow we're off to Georgetown for a sun drenched vacation. Going by bus (called Nice) with only 22 seats and it will take about 5 hours to get there. Will see SuLynn too (a fellow student from Nagasaki University)
Had a fab dinner in a ...yes, I'm afraid so, Japanese restaurant in the Shangrila Hotel with delicious soft shell crabs, Jelly fish with cucumber and sea weed and other delights.

I agree with William. Glad you've blogged again.
Sounds as though you are having the best time although why a Japanese restaurant after all you've been through I have no idea. You're obviously addicted. I want to go to Dome - book me in. Sounds like my kind of place. Off to XXL on Saturday - thought I was too old for the club scene but apparently not. Am going with Simon - the one I met in Gran Can. Should be a hoot.
Not much else to tell. I won a competition - a year's supply of fish food from NishiKoi!! Why couldn't it have been the euromillions lottery?
Take care
Chris
