Traffic is light http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Malaysia/Selangor/blog-373278.html Hello my friendsTonight I walked through a city which seems to have left the 21st century behind.

We left Heathrow London Airport at 2pm English time and arrived after 1 stop in UAE at about 6.30am the following morning after 16 long hours... I was really pleased to be back on the ground but i felt really tired after the long journey and the heat hits you as you walk out the air conditioned airport.I got a surprise when i saw the Pertro http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Malaysia/Selangor/blog-372000.html So Vietnam won the poll for those of you that didn't spot my brief note at the bottom of the last entry.

At the last count there were 14 such 'holidays' for one Religion National celebration or another throughout the year. This week it's Raya Aidiladha or Hari Raya Korban a Muslim festival marking the end of the hajj pilgrim http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Malaysia/Selangor/blog-356727.html This morning I woke up with a churning stomach and feeling really nausius so I spent the vast majority of the daytime in my room resting. Its so humid too right now which is adding to my discomfort...hopefully this is just a passing bug Maybe it was the Egg Macmuffin Forced myself out to the Beatles Bar tonight as I was meeting Kevin Jean Forrest and Sarah again...and once again it was a http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Malaysia/Selangor/blog-356339.html For as long as I can remember we've always celebrated Christmas with all trimmings.

La verdad no esperaba que esta gente al menos la gente de Sepang Kuala Lumpur y Batu fuera tan cosmopolita y con una tolerancia rara vez observada en un pais musulman.
