November 8, November 9, November 10 finally November 10. In my hotel room, in Chinatown, in bed, time to sleep. I do sleep, I sleep for 12 hours, and three days of the travel state is washed away.

Surprisingly I wasn't that tired by the end of it all, well tired maybe, but not exhausted, I didn't even have much in the way of heart palpitations. As I lay my head down 12:00 UK time, 20:00 Malaysian time, I fell into dreams, awaking, saying to myself "These are dreams." this repeating itself until one dream took me all the way in, an invitation to that other world.

I woke up 12 hours later fresh and ready. Ready for Malaysia, ready for Asia. It's been a while since I last was here, and for several reasons Malaysia was the last Asian country I left from four and a half years ago, before that global pandemic, before that period of ambulances and hospitalisations, before I stopped nicotine, caffiene, alcohol and every other addicting substance, before so much else happened and so much else changed.

Here I am now, things are different with me.

And a bit different with Malaysia too, the Wi-Fi situation seems to have improved, a bit, and Malaysians have also seemed to have improved their direction abilities. Two positive changes there.

It's my first full day of this trip, as I write this, it's morning here, the humidity swims through my muscle and fat and the smells of a true Asian Chinatown are in my nostrils.

I'm calling this trip 'An Asia Trip' and this Blog post will be 'An Asia Trip Blog post'
