I Wonder

Woke up in Kuala Lumpur this morning after a good night's sleep. Last night I set out on the strip in search of, I don't know what. Then it became a search for a dark and stormy. I saw a place promoting a Moscow Mule so I popped in and scanned the bar for any kind of dark rum; Gosling is preferred, but at this point I'll make the sacrifice.

The crowd was engrossed in a futbol game and when you ask your host or hostess for something, they always say Yes.

My next challenge was getting up and down the strip without being offered massages of various types. They're not expensive, nothing here is expensive when you're rolling with Yankee dollars, the exchange is just over 4 to 1, but I'm not that curious to go in without my back covered. One morning I saw the owner opening and blessing the place and that gave me comfort. I wanted to find the Indian spot where I had the tandoori chicken, but I didn't accomplish that goal either.

I did find a spot, mind you this is on the street, not a restaurant, that was grilling lamb on a barbeque grill so I got myself a platter to go.

Night life is a funny creature, remind me to tackle that at some point.

Anyway, today my room faces east so I get the morning sun. I dreamt of exercising, which means to me, I'm missing it. I also thought of Philly for the first time and I Wonder the same. Nah, just a passing thought about the weather, and I didn't check.

Today I'm on my own. I think I will make a walking tour of KL. I don't really know what to see or where to go, there's no water, no river front. Most of the tourist map shows shopping and eating places, as this is what our society has become, a civilization of consumers. Little wonder consuming means both shopping and eating.

The breakfast cafe is bustling today - Sunday, busses came in last night. I Wonder if I could slip into their tour. Not sure whether the tour would be in Hindi or Tamil, doesn't matter, I understand neither.

Once again breakfast was filling and I thought I'd go for seconds. It was paleo today, much protein. I meant to mention my foot is better, blister healed. Today, sneaks and socks, hopefully I'll cover some kilometers get some good pix and find some decent places to eat.

That is all.
