Jeff humors us with his writing like a jokester but his stories are soulful and moving. I like this story of yours which will go on for 4 days. I'll be waiting for the installments. Meanwhile I shall write a guide about Malaysia for visitors.

To date, Malaysia is one of my best shopping experience in the world. Shops are clustered and nicely organized in shopping complexes and everything is in one directory that is found on all floors. The size of shopping malls in Malaysia can be somewhat overwhelming for first time visitors and you may have an overtendency to be wowed by it. All the shopping malls are indoors and you'll have a nice cool shopping experience in a temperately warm country in Malaysia.

In Mid Valley, which is accessible by train now and taxis, but train is still recommended unless you stay nearby, is one of the biggest and extravagent shopping mall in Malaysia. From far it looks like a huge canopy which spans a large area. There are four main entrances one in each cardinal direction of the compass. There are 430 shops in the buiding alone, a huge gym, a high tech cinema and large eating areas and food court. My favourite stores,MPH bookstore and The Feng Shui Megamall are there too. MPH has a lovely fountain in the store that people can sit around while reading. Classical music plays in the air and it's a lovely place to read and unwind.

Outside the shopping mall there are a plethora of food shops one of which is the Chinese Hong Kong chain shop, Kim Gary. Here they serve delicious milk tea and cheese rice with meat fillings. This is heaven. Food is a main concern in Malaysia and people all over the place are looking for new and nice places to eat at.

Things in Malaysia are also 1/4 cheaper than the goods sold in the States. It is most favorable to shop in. Shop in malls as they're the safest way to shop for genuine products (please make certain of this too). Other shopping malls that are huge, great and superb (although not for the feet) are Wan Utama Shopping Mall (lovely place with medieval theme) and Times Square at Bukit Bintang. Not to be missed are the old malls on Bintang Walk which are Lot 10 and Sungei Wang (Money with river when translated from BM). Learn some local phrases so you can interact with the people, although they do speak English.

For cheap hotels in main town area call for local agencies to get a cheaper rate. Hotels here are relatively much much cheaper than hotels in the States. If you enjoy nature, try going to Borneo Island where Sarawak and Sabah is, my home sweet place. Although Sarawak and Sabah are two different states, they're on an exotic island. It a kewl place to be if you like water sports, parachuting, jungle hiking, rafting, swimming or nature walks. There's so much to entice you, the local food - Sarawak Laksa which is the yummiest in the world - it's like Mee Hoon or small mee. There are so many local customs from Chinese New Year to Deepavali. Kuching or Sarawak is a beautiful place to be at.
