I was tired of being cold in America so i decided to go down to Borneo for a few weeks. I flew out of SF a couple of days ago and i new as i was handing my bag to the lady at the United counter that my bag would not arive with me in Borneo and i was right. They were really friendly at the airport here and actually came up to me to say that my bag was missing. I will head back to the airport tonight to retrieve it. I am traveling with a co-worker of mine named Josh. Josh and i got in at midnight and shared a cab with a dude from NY who works at the UN. He picked up the bill too. The hotel was way out of town and conected to what is known as the first and largest super mall in east malaysia. maybe it was not called super mall, but it was something like that? We got settled in around midnight and then walked around the mall even though everything was closed. We did find a happening little night spot with a live band, two Filipino gals singing american pop songs while some old dude played the keyboard. We were two of maybe six people in the bar. We paid almost $5 a peice for two small beers. We we soon joined by a very drunk Malay who bought us a round of Guiness' I saw the bill and he paid about $5 for four beers. We talked a little but his drunken English was not very good. The two singers finished up and and came over and talked with us. It was then our turn to buy a round. It took a while to interprit that i would pay for the beers but i wanted our drunk friend to order them so that we could get local price. The guy kept telling us he was from Brunie, which would be like saying 'I am rich and important' then the singers would giggle and lean in and tell us he is only saying he is from Brunie? We cut out of the joint about the time the drunk guy was way drunk and seemed to be hinting that maybe he should stay in our room since his not so drunk friends had already left him. He did not stay with us.
This morning we walked around the super mall, i bought some sunglasses and josh bought a phone, call any time as it cost us to recieve incoming calls. 011-60145-602735 It seems like a lot of numbers but i am pretty sure that it is right?
We are off to find a new place to live
