Weird SF, every time u described something about Malaysia, especially when u r in Penang or Sandakan or KK, it just doesn’t sound like Malaysia at all. Or probably such situation only arises when there are farangs around or in more “touristy” places…haha…it’s Visit Malaysia Year 2007 so no wonder the police are more active…haha…but well, don’t forget that U should try to come and visit Kuching one day…haha…take care pal…

I think the cops came by just when I had a brush with the cheeky girl who wanted her photo taken. She had nagged me for a while and I basically told her to get lost. You could see from a distance that we had a disagreement.

Still, it was nice of the policemen to care. I had the feeling they were sincere.

I love these stories.
A like to hear about your ‘walk(s) on the wild side’.

I sometimes get this feeling of slight edginess when in Asia - not necessarily because of the people, but sometimes because the environment has a slightly dangerous feel to a farang used to all the H&S rules we live with these days. A little bit of danger makes me feel alive and alert (ie. i take care).
I know you know where to draw the line between a little fun and real danger, and i know you’ll be careful. Enjoy

I hope we get to see them !
