By honking, of course! And where are they the most splendid conversationalists? I’d have to say, the Old Quarter, Hanoi, Vietnam.
Please note that I have not limited this to conversations among cars only, we’re talking motor bikes, bicycles, cyclos, busses, any kind of transportation you can think of, plus one or two more you never [...]

The most famous landmark in Malaysia, the Petronas Towers, has beautiful lines – the tall spires of the twin towers, the shiny silver patterned lines of each floor, the sleek line of the bridge between the towers, and the Islamic star shpe of the tip – all of which combine together to make an absolutely [...]

Have I mentioned my extensive DVD collection yet? It’s grown quite out of control here in KL, but it wasn’t tiny back in Munich either. I would say that I now have at least 400 DVDs. I’m talking about my own personal DVDs here, the types of movies that Alex would never want to watch [...]

Alex and I often discuss the differences in our accents. He grew up in California and says leg with the same ‘e’ sound as in egg. I grew up in New York and Connecticut and say dawn with a strong w-sound. The rest of my family has very strong New York accents, but I tried [...]

Annoying is:
A round-the-clock construction site directly outside our balcony. Tink, tink, tink; bang, bang, bang; honk, honk, honk. I feel like I’m living inside a children’s story book. Thankfully it seems to be going up so fast (must have something to do with the lax Malaysian labor laws that allow the imported Indonesian workers to [...]

Finally! I managed to find some time to update our personal website. I am so embarrased that I left it up for so long, looking so bad. When I made the previous design, I was in a huge rush to get something up, so I only spent about 10 minutes creating the layout, and a [...]
