ALL RIGHT, you good to go, macbook? super. not much to report this weekend. pretty uneventful--lots of walking, which was somewhat unwarranted, as i was nursing a leg injury. still, i managed to limp around the baru kampung night market (wasn't a whole to see, save the traditional raised houses and inquisitive street cats), little india (once again partially-abandoned, leaving us silk shirtless and utterly uncool) and merdeka square (@ night). today we took the 'komuter' train out to subang jaya where apsara showed us around her hood. it's claims to fame: one of the best curry claypots in town (served on massive banana leaves), a big mall (surprise) w/ one of only two ice rinks in malaysia and... the "world's largest pencil" (which was eraserless; apparently malaysians don't make mistakes). apsara was kind enough to drive us around in her ultra-compact people-mover, showcasing her abrupt braking abilities. round two in subang will surely involve a visit to the sunway theme/extreme park. special mention goes to the explicitly racist marketing campaign put on by pizza hut (see: "eat like mexicans do" and "give your best mexican pose") and the indelible chef wan noodle packaging (you had me @ that ingenuous raised arms "chef pose"). some visuals:
