Final Day, you guessed it, breakfast was amazing. I sat in the central area today, even walk to all types of food. There was no cooked salmon, nor smoked salmon today. Not happy Jan. I checked out of the hotel, with the bill added to my card in Australian dollars - nice. Big and small bag in tow, I head off to the training in the convention centre. Training went well, and we covered almost all areas I was interested in, however the last two items were just demo only rather than fully configured on our own laptops. Something to setup once I get home I guess. I repack my bags putting all cables into the luggage bag, leaving the two laptops and external drives in my shoulder bag. I get changed into travel clothes, and ... read more

Dad (chauffeur of the year) drove me to the plane and soon enough I was condensed into that humming whining rattling steel teleportation limbo, not sure if this flight was gonna careen into the ground and if I would be pissed off I didn't get to catch the end of whatever the current film was (I had paid for the upgrade to entertainment after all). The ground did look cool though- i like seeing where man has turned the world rectilinear. And where nature is more expressive than that. The movies/tv/games selection was as small as it was bland so a fiery airplane crash death coulda been worse... still always funny to see what words they sub in for swears and I give a little cheer when a swear kinda sneaks through. Also best sub of ... read more

The day is a cracker, weather perfect, humid and 28 no rain. I take a short 15 minute shower under a shower head the size of a dinner plate, put on a tshirt and head down to breakfast. The breakfast buffet is outstanding, leaving nothing to want for. The girl asked if i wanted to sit in or outside.... bahaha. To give an indication of size, it was 67 steps from my table to the juice bar, with around 400 glasses laid out in perfect alignment, and my table only around half way across the atrium. Three courses later I roll out of the buffet and return to the room to gather my things. down at reception my tour bus awaits, as we head off to the Batu caves. The humidity is really kicking in and ... read more

24.09.2012 We got off the plane after the long journey left us a Kuala Lumpur airport. I noticed the heat and humidity as soon as I got off the plane, it hit me like a hot brand in the face. My breathing became heavier already and I started to sweat. First thing I had to do was brush my teeth, the next was get our luggage but the airport had a serious lack of signage, strange for an airport that boasted being voted best in the world for three years. Eventually we made our way to the baggage pickup on the metro trains they had used to link various parts of the airport. We picked up our luggage and packed in them our hand luggage that we had taken on the plane, then was the passport ... read more

Torsdag: För att maximera tidsutnyttjandet och få en trevlig avslutning på uppdraget i Penang så åkte Anders och jag över till Long Pine Beach på morgonen och åkte ett par omgångar JET-SKI. Hotellet kör bussar emellan sina tre anläggningar på ön och det är bara att sätta upp sig på en lista så får man åka med. Vår buss fastnade i någon sorts kö, men då hämtade de fram Merca-limo och skjutsade oss istället ;) Dagens spaning är att nästan alla skoterförare vänder jackan bak-och-fram. Behövs säkert när det är 200% fuktighet och 35 grader i skuggan... Efter en fantastisk indisk lunch och utcheckning från Eastern & Oriental bar det sedan iväg till flygplatsen för skuttet över till Kuala Lumpur. Efter kvällsträningen träffade jag Fredrik Ivarsson på hotellet. Vi åkte till KL-tower och käkade i middag ... read more
