I got into Kuala Lumpur safely last night. My friend Hiro had a driver from his company come out to pick me up at the airport. We had a bit of trouble finding each other because the driver had nothing but my name to go by and therefore was apparently looking for an older (white hair) Japanese businessman in a sports coat; NOT a young (well, relatively) Blackanese kid with an afro-poof toting a big giant backpack.
While Raj (the driver) went to bring the car around to pick me up, I stood out on in the passenger loading zone trying to get a feel for my new surroundings. With all the Indians, Chinese and Malays wandering around me speaking English, Tamil, Chinese and Malay, I had an overwhelmingly odd feeling that I was actually in a slightly more humid version of San Francisco...minus the white people
Raj brought the car around, loaded me up and then took me to Pizza Hut for dinner before driving me in to KL to drop me off at Hiro's posh condomimium. After Pizza Hut, everything is hazy. I was so exhausted from the trip and not sleeping the night before (last minute packing, of course) that I just remember seeing some spectacularly huge buildings and then changing cars at one point.
It's morning now and Hiro is on his way back from work. He plans to take me out to see Penang this afternoon.

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! You made it! I am so proud of you, Tachan! I was think of you constantly leading up to your departure. I knew I had to go to work and you, you got to seek your adventure. KUDOS! Keep us posted you ragin' Blacknese poofy-haired crazy kid! "Uhh, should I leave Japan or something? People are lookin' at me like, nice hair!"
Oh jeez, Tatsu. I really see you like this kind of photos. Just kidding. I am sorry. This is quite disturbing. I hope you get to do something about this. (Crossed fingers).
Well, glad to see that you are there safely. I did not know that you speak so many different languages. My dad is quite impressed! He says hi!
Well, hope you enjoy your stay there. and keep updating some exciting stories :) Peace
Wow, that was really not cool at all. As you can see, I've deleted the comments and I'm hoping that this is just some random isolated thing, but if it 'happens again I may have to restrict the options on who can post...damn 'bots. For now, I guess the best I can say is to beware of any links posted by random folks to the site (cat woman and kumi being exceptions of course)...before you click on a link, check in the bottom left hand corner of the browser window to see what kind of address that link leads to... Sorry for the trouble there, folks.
