6:25 a.m. Bird Nest Guest House
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Feeling much better this morning. I can tell I slept well because I woke up with strong memories of all the insane dreams I had. I can really feel the difference between the mornings when I remember those dreams and the mornings when I don’t. My body doesn’t seem to get much benefit from sleep …

7:00 a.m. Bird Nest Guest House
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Shopping adventures continue. I went back to a camping store yesterday to consider purchasing a mosquito net and a sleeping sheet. I was going to go to the big Explorer store in the Publika shopping mall, but at the last minute, I changed my mind and went to a smaller shop I knew about. Its …
Picking up My Bike and the Clikstand T-2G

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
I am in proud possession of my bicycle once more. Getting to the bike shop was as easy as always. It involves simply crossing the street, purchasing a subway token for 2.1 ringgit (about sixty-six cents), riding in air-conditioned comfort on a nearly empty subway train, and then exiting the subway and walking one block. …
New Seatpost Problems and New Handlebar Grips

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
I did get up the energy to go out to the bike shops. However, I did not return with the bike. We ran into another problem, and I spent some time trying to get that sorted out, and by the time everything was ready, it was later in the day. Even then, I got on …

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
I made a useful discovery at the guest house yesterday. I learned that I could use the computer in the reception area to upload pictures. At first, I had trouble. The pictures would upload but then I’d get an error message at the very end and lose everything and have to start all over. I …
Picking Up My Repaired Olympus OM-D E-M5
Friday October 17, 2014
6:20 a.m. Bird Nest Guest House
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
I am the proud possessor of a working Olympus camera once more. I went back to Mont Kiara by taxi again, as I hadn’t figured out the buses to get there. It’s funny that I even make taking a taxi difficult. The average person, since they were taking a taxi, would simply take a taxi …
Rabbit Bites, Schwalbe Tires, Clikstand, and Camera Repairs

6:30 a.m. Bird Nest Guest House
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Some events of note took place yesterday. For one, the rabbit that I have such an odd relationship with actually bit someone hard enough to draw blood. An actual Western family showed up here at the guest house yesterday afternoon – a family with two young boys. I watched them arrive and I wondered what …
New 9-Speed Chain and New Cassette

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
I did return to the bike shop (called Bike Pro, by the way) yesterday. Jason was there, and I was happy about that. He was working on a couple of other very fancy bikes, but he was happy to chat with me about my bike and changing the chain. It’s been great to be …
