This is a journal of the moment. At this moment I am sitting in an Indian outdoor cafe on the island of Penang in Malaysia. If that sounds weird to you then you need to understand that 50% of the 800000 people that live on this island are Chinese, 40% are Malay and 10% are Indian. So the Indian food is quite authentic and tasty. I would have enjoyed this meal more, except for the waiter who was fascinated with my iPad and was a serious Apple fanboy, and wanted to talk Mac OS throughout my meal. All I wanted was some peace and quiet and a good meal. The meal I got, the quiet I did not. Sometimes being an early adopter of technology is rather hazardous. But the tandoori chicken was still excellent.
I got to see a disappointingly small amount of Malaysia and the island of Penang. One has to work it seems, and after coming so far, it would had been a pity to have not garnered everything possible from the conference. Yet, it would hzve been more relaxing to have toured a bit.
Two very very short days after my return to Macedonia from Malaysia, I find myself on another flight bound for London. I have no idea what time zone my bod is in, but my watch seems to be swinging wildly from one time zone to the next. In London more of the same sit down and type as fast as I can mode, gaining the material as cogently as possible for digestion at a later date. I hope the food is better than I have been told, and that the beer is as good as promised.
