Oh my god - it happened!
It seems like I am getting the first syndroms of travelling southeastasia by myself.
I started talking to myself. The town of Kuala Lumpur just did that to me. Starting with things like 'keep calm, it's just the heat' or 'I can't believe they really eat this' up to 'what am I doing here?'. But most of the time it is just a shaking of the head and a 'ts ts ts'.
Second, I get more and more self-confident about telling everybody who wants to hear it or not that I am going to meet my husband, wo is right now woriking in Singapore for IBM either in Bankok or in the next village. Lying felt strange in the beginning, but for me it is the way to protect myself. Here, the women wear headscarfs to protect them. I have the impression that not covering up implies to some men that they have a free ticket to check things out. Well, I won't cover up.
Then, I finally gave up and had my dinner at McDonalds. I hardly ever do that at home because I feel sick after a meal there so it is somewhat ironic that I would do that here, where the rainforest is obviously destroyed in a big scale. Wasn't it McD that was so popular for tearing down all the rainforest trees in the 80s? Well... I still chose the easy way to get rid of hunger -even though the food here just looks delicious and as far as I have eaten it, it IS delicious. But having a closer view to the food stalls in KL just makes me terrified of any deseases I could read about in the lonely planet. -the yellow bible-
Talking about the must-read-book for all backpackers of SEA - for various reasons I ended up in a place that is not described in there. I consider myself being very brave, because I now have no idea of where I am and what I can do here and how to get away. So if you do not hear anything from me in the next week, please search for me in TAIPING. (Don't worry, it is not so bad. They DO have a McDonalds and an Internet Cafe). A very friendly taxidriver took me to a cheap-o-cheap hotel since the tourist info was already closed and there is no hostel around. Very strange - two empty beds and a whole bathroom for myself. What a luxury.
So a big hello from the internet cafe which is just getting ready for chinese new year on feb 18th.

Liebe Anika,
Deine Fotos sind ein Traum! Man sollte sie alle vergrößern und rundum an die Wände hängen.Wie toll muß das erst in Wirklichkeit sein!
Gerade war Cris hier und hat das Auto geholt;er will ,glaub ich,Bier transportieren.Er hat mir Deine neue Tel.Nr. samt Billigvorwahl gegeben,die ich dann auch mal probieren werde.Jürgen ist zum Wandern Zu Roland in den Schwarzwald gefahren,dort ist Sonnenschein! Er muß aber heute abend schon wieder zurück sein weil er morgen einen Vortrag hält.
Bei Euch sind ja 30 Grad laut TV-Wetterbericht!
Alles Liebe! Ursula
