KL

Check out this video from my first day in Malaysia. I was staying in a hotel just outside Kuala Lumpur — a real classy place, 5 stars and all that. Certainly a step above my days as a dirty backpacker! (don’t worry, I’m still dirty)

Anyway, I discovered an awesome bit of the famed Asian toilet-tech. check it out:

I also had the opportunity to try a Durian, known throughout Malaysia and South East Asia as the King of Fruit. This thing is gnarley — it has a thick spikey husk which is cut open to reveal the strange, creamy fruit inside. I’ve never seen or smelled or tasted anything like this before. just check out the video.

yuck.

I wish I had more time to describe everything I’ve seen and done since I’ve been here, but I’ve got a dinner to go to with some other travel industry associates.

  1. oh! i really laughed at the durian video…. Also not my favorite fruit (if you can call it that-it looks like the egg of a hostile alien). Did you notice when you were here….there are some durian popsicles in the freezer. They taste–well like a fruit/onion pop. I had to discourage Ann from getting some durian mochi cakes the other day…..she thought her mother might like them. A passive aggressive thing maybe…

  2. Awesome. Simply awesome.
