Thinking About Buying an MSR Whisperlite Universal

8:00 a.m. Bird Nest Guest House
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
The argument grows stronger for buying a computer. I went to the Internet café to download the latest installment of my shopping adventures in Kuala Lumpur, and it took an hour and fifteen minutes just to download one file from the NEO. I had a second file partially filled up, and the total download time …

6:20 a.m. Bird Nest Guest House
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
I experienced some success, though very frustrating success, with the website. I had sent an email to my hosting company,m and I got the usual techo-babble reply. I felt I had the right to contact them because they had recently moved my website to a different server. I suggested that my website had crashed because …
Trying to Cycle Across Kuala Lumpur

8:00 a.m. Bird Nest Guest House
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Words fail me about my adventures yesterday. I went out on my bike to find the Olympus service center, and I discovered a first in history – a city without streets, a city made up entirely of highways. Just as I had no choice but to ride from the airport to downtown on a highway …
Trying to Find DT Swiss Alpine III Spokes

6:45 a.m. Kuala Lumpur
Bird Nest Guest House
I got a bit of a late start yesterday, so I didn’t accomplish as much as I’d hoped. I suppose I can also blame that fact on circumstance and the nature of Kuala Lumpur.
My current task is still to rebuild the wheels on my bike, and to that end, I wanted to go to another bike …
A Long Walk to the Petronas Towers

7;15 a.m. Bird Nest 2, Kuala Lumpur
It was a Sunday yesterday, and bike shops and such things were largely closed. I started the day in the Internet café. I mentioned before that the Internet café is FAR more advanced than the ones in the Philippines: Much more space; more comfortable; wonderful chairs, good mice, good monitors, fast connection, reliable computers. There’s really …
The Three Cultures of Kuala Lumpur
Sunday September 28, 2014
7:00 a.m. Bird Nest 2 Guest House
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
I already covered the events of yesterday – my success in mastering the transit system and finding a potential bike shop. Perhaps I didn’t mention the tone of things. What I mean is the social atmosphere out there. It’s a strange one, and I’m not sure I’ve ever encountered it before. At this point, …
Finding an AWESOME Bike Shop In Kuala Lumpur
Saturday September 27, 2014
8:15 a.m. Eagle’s Perch, Bird Nest Guest House
Kaula Lumpur
I thought the guest house would be alive with activity at this point, but I think the young kids were up late and they are now sleeping in. Or they were up long ago and are now out sightseeing. So far, I’m not that excited about Kuala Lumpur. I hope my plan works out …
Riding My Bike from Airport to Kuala Lumpur

Somewhere lost in the Kuala Lumpur International Airport
8:30 a.m.
Man oh man oh man oh man oh man. A crazy life. It’s funny how I keep deciding to do things and I just ignore all the potential problems. I assume that I will be able to handle it when the time comes in some fashion. I go blithely forward without a care or …
