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.
