Just a quick update to let everyone know our next move. We’ve worked our way through the highlights of Kuala Lumpur and are moving on to Kuching in Malaysian Borneo.
Reported to be one of the quaintest cities in Southeast Asia from other traveler’s and guidebooks alike, Kuching should be a nice change from the sleepless nights of Kuala Lumpur. Kuching is also well-situated for some jungle walks through one of the oldest rainforests in the world, exploring deep limestone caves, as well as a visit to see an authentic Borneo Longhouse.
We purchased our tickets from Air Asia for the 1 1/2 hour flight from Kuala Lumpur, and are scheduled to land Friday afternoon. We’ll post more once we’ve gotten situated.
And one last thing…
because apparently everyone forgot this momentious occasion in the ongoing history of this planet (even her mother), today is Julie’s half-birthday. So, umm, Happy Half-Birthday to Julie, let’s hear it everyone ( Note from Kai: this last part was painful just to type, so I do apologize but Julie made me do it. OK, carry on ).

I for one wish you a happy half birthday. Keep exploring! I loved the shots in the fish market. It looks unlikely that I will get out to join up with your travels. I keep telling myself someday. Oh, digging through the music library, came across Creedence Clearwater Revival’s song “someday never comes”. Do you know it?
Happy unBirthday! I have never understood why you get a half birthday. My birthday is way worse than yours Julie! Kai, I loved your writing and perspective through the gin and tonics. I’m told part of the wonder of traveling is that sometimes it makes you appreciate home. Kuching sounds exciting and I’m looking forward to pictures of the jungles. Love you. Dianne
Yeah, JUNGLES! Now were talking. Can’t wait to hear about it and see all those palm trees. Glad you are getting out of the big city. Enjoy your travels. Happy half-birthday, Jules. Love – GV
100 days on the road – keep this up, and you’ll qualify for quasi-aussie status…
Happy Birthday Jules, hopefully you celebrated with one of those exotic drinks with the umbrella and fruit – if not, make sure kai gets you one at the next beach, toes frimly planted in white sand, kaleidascope sunset on display.
safe travels,
Dad
Kai, that was the best sleeplessness story I ever read. If I ever can’t sleep, I’m going to read it and have a gin & tonic.
Happy 1/2 birthday to Julie, maybe you should start celebrating 1/3 birthdays. The more celebrating in the world, the better.
Love,
Mom
oh I forgot! bad friend. happy half b-day JB!!!!!!! (kai, you are too funny)
It is my personal philosphy that everyone who has a birthday within 2 weeks of Christmas should get a half-birthday. Actually, more accurately, if anyone wants a half-birthday, they should have one. As Carolina said, the more celebrating in this world, the better. Good call.
