Islamic High Rise, Nasi Lemak & Banghra Nites

It's time for a short holiday again and so Yvonne and me came to Kuala Lumpur (KL for the locals) to close another gap on the map of Asia. From the very first moment I was surpised by the friendly people here. Taxi drivers welcome u to KL if u dont want a ride, no one hassles u, and people on the streets talk to u without any trick or cheat in mind... the food is perfect, especially the Indian on but also the traditional Nasi Lemak (coconutrice with a piece of egg, some sambal and a little fish) is one of my favorites. The city itself gets its charme through the contrasts - islamic hig rises and little chinese chop houses, the mix of cultures (Malay, Indian and Chinese).
Yesterday we had the pleasure to visit a Bollywoodmovie with an actor called Superstar ( I hope he is not a real one :-)). The story was some 3 hour stuff about ghosts, love, fighting and the story of a doctor.. as there were now subtitles the best thing were the songs and dance parts of the movie.. but also the fights were very.... special... I would say.
Tonite we join an Indian friend for a Banghra Party, sounds like assloads of fun :-).
On sunday I have to fly back to HCMC....

Highlander

This spring's trip around Vietnam comes to an end, and so we find ourselfes in Dalat, the heart of the central highlands. beautiful landscapes and a much nicer climate than in saigon make this place to one of the favorite hangouts for the rich saigonese society.
On monday we will come back to HCMC where i will move into my brandnew flat, which i share with julia, a colleague from Saigon Times.
after spending some days there I will drop by in singapore for a while and spend a week or so in malysia. (just if some of my s-pore firends wanna meet me: i arrive on april 9th)
for now end of info. more when i am back in HCMC together with my notebook :-)
take care out there, wherever u are!!!
