Koh Lanta
It was my first night as an independent traveller. I had made it to Penang, proud of myself for figuring out the logistics of getting there from KL…and getting there cheaply. I searched the streets of Penang for a hostel mentioned in the Lonely Planet and booked myself in. All in all a good day. Did some exploring during the day and then returned to my room to settle in for the night. It was midnight, I was still reading a great novel I had picked up at the airport Street Lawyer I believe it was or some other Grisham novel about lawyers anyhow I was heavily into it when I noticed a little orange coloured bug scurry across the page. I flicked it away and thought nothing of it.

Room with a view.
I should point out here that I refer to Kuala Lumpur as home. That is not to scare anyone into thinking I’m staying but more reflects how comfortable Norm and Lory have made me feel here. I know the trip would not be the same without their kind hospitality and I will fondly remember my many days in KL…especially The Neil Diamond tape that always seems to get played in their little Proton(Malaysian car). Me listening and really enjoying Neil Diamond…who’d a thought? Anyways, I am humbled by their generosity and at odds as to how I could ‘return their investment’ in me. I guess for starters I could try to keep my room a little neater . J
