Every weekend Iris and I take at least one day to explore a different part of our new home. Living here makes exploring the city very different. We are long term tourists, here for at least two years maybe more, meaning that there is no rush to do or see anything. It is nice. Some … More Another weekend, another adventure
It is perhaps fitting who our first guest here in Kuala Lumpur was. It is also perhaps a matter of logistics working out perfectly. We moved to Malaysia one month ago, right at about the time that Miranda was getting ready to wrap up her almost two year journey around Asia. So of course she was … More Our first house guest
Not as good as eating a durian, but still good news. I let it slip in another blog post but I got a job. Funny story, I was in Starbucks applying to jobs that were in Desa Sri Hartamas, our neighborhood. These were unsolicited emails, as the four I applied to had no openings listed … More The one in which Kevin gets a job
It finally happened folks! We ate durian! It was the ending to a great night of food with Iris’s TA Joann and her boyfriend Ken. They took us out to a great Chinese hawker stall where I was again reminded that if there is a heaven, mine will be full of great food and lots … More Andrew Zimmer is wrong! or How to lose weight in Malaysia Part 5: Durian Durian Durian!

Kevin’s much better at this stuff, so I’ll probably leave most of it to him, but I will talk about finding our apartment. When … More Prima (Ria) Donna
Or at least, I think the name of the place was 88 Kimbab . It was 88 something….anyway it was a little hole in the wall Korea restaurant specializing in Korean street food that Iris and I decided to try last week. I have forgotten the full name but I know that it was 88 … More How to lose weight in Malaysia Part 4: 88 Kimbab special edition
Never have I been more sweaty then I was today. Just soaked, just dripping in it. Long story made short because I might have a whole other blog post about this later in the week, I taught an ESL class today. The class started at 10am, and I was told to get there a bit … More Two Americans sweating a lot on the other side of the world part 2
How to lose weight in Malaysia Part 3 I have no idea what this is. It was from a Dim sum place near where we were staying before our apartment in Mont’ Kiara and frankly, is not that far from where we live now. Iris ordered it, and I think they brought us the wrong … More How to lose weight in Malaysia Part 3
Or at least for now, Kevin sweating a lot on the other side of the world. Because she does not sweat as much as me, or if she does, it is not as visible as when I sweat. And she does not take photos of her sweating, and as I good husband I do not … More Two Americans sweating a lot on the other side of the world
