One month ago, Michael and I vacationed in Kuala Lumpur and Singapore. We walked, talked, drank excellent coffee and cocktails, went shopping, saw the towers, went to a butterfly and open-air bird zoo, and relaxed in our hostel. There's not a great deal to do in Kuala Lumpur or Singapore, unless you're loaded, but we managed to enjoy ourselves Western style--we went shopping. My favorite thing, specifically about Kuala Lumpur, is that you can walk down the street and see so many people from so many places. On your right you'll see a woman dressed in full Muslim dress, only baring her eyes. On the left, Hindi women and men. In front of you, a group of Chinese teenagers, and in front of you, Western tourists. I love to be surrounded by many different languages at once, people from around the world communicating their idea and feelings. It's like an orchestra, a symphony, a cacophony of desire.

"a cacophony of desire"
You are poetry.
Sounds like fun!
Greg's actually living in Singapore these days, if I'd know you were heading these, I would have gotten you in touch. Sounds like you had a great time anyhoo!
Oh, and aces on the dominos! That was Sarah and mine's game of choice on our trip. And, we still enjoy a good game now and again at home.
