Kuala Lumpur Backpackers Nice write on your experiences in Kuala Lumpur. There are backpackers joints in Kuala Lumpur. It's just that it takes a little bit more effort to discover them. http://www.backpackerskl.com/
Re: Thom, wow! Haha... I appreciate your flattery. It's great reading your comments!
Surprisingly, our driver spoke excellent English and was able to give us a bit of background on each of the sites. I was a little too awestruck to absorb much of it.
As a matter of fact, just about everyone I met in Cambodia spoke English decently (the same couldn't be said for Thailand.)
The phramacist actually didn't quote me a price on the whole bottle. Given the condition of the pharmacy, I suspect it might have had to go a long way.
Thom, wow! The great narrative continues. The snapshots of Thom (and also Banyon) were just amazing. I can imagine wandering around there for days if there was an English speaking guide to explain why it was all so complex. [And, as an afterthought, I presume your mother has also ordered you to go back to the pharmacy and buy the whole damn bottle of Tylenol!]
Amazing report ... please keep it coming! Jason, Susan and I are enjoying your travel writings very much, indeed. You had me going on 'tuk tuk' however ... I was expecting the next paragraph to describe some small East Asian mammal which was common, but difficult to see during daylight. Eventually I was able to discern the importance to tourism and transportation :)
It's actually a bit chilling that the Killing Fields are a tourist attraction. Obviously infamous, there are books and movies and all that, it seems from your remarks that things are intended to provide a moment of tourism angst or something. Gulp.
Naturally your doting 'rents tipped us to your blog, while worrying about your frequent references to the mosquitoes. Lighten up on that ... mothers worry, you know!
We look forward to more. Please keep it up! And be careful. And if you get a chance, buy another big bag of rice for those kids and we'll reimburse you.
