malaysia-sapporo-kyoto
I'll break it down for you real easy.
Malaysia is malaysia, still waiting for that 2020 boleh to kick in. Food is good and cheap though, unless you undercook your food at the roadside hotpot place and you end up wasting a day sick in bed. That didn't happen to me, but my buddies weren't that lucky.
I did however, get my customary Jay Chou cd, something I've done the last 3 or 4 times I've dropped by malaysia or its cleaner but not better rival singapore.
Malaysia is also stupidly hot.
Sapporo on the other hand is cold.
Very very cold in fact.
But oh so good.
To explain why sapporo is good is quite simple. Its one word (and its not '10'...unfortunately)
The word is 'snow'
Lets just say that I didn't get to snowboard but the snow I saw on the SIDE of the street in downtown Sapporo is far greater than any snow I've seen on any ski resort in Australia. And don't even get my started on the powder...its fricking awesome.
So yeah, I'm coming back.
Right now I'm sitting in the lobby of Budget Inn Hostel in Kyoto using the 'net. Its costing me 100yen per 15minutes, just over a buck really. On that front, my 9 times tables are getting better :) I'll be hanging out in Kyoto for the next 7 or so days before heading up to Tokyo and my Optimus Prime robot.
Beer is cheap. Shoes are cheap.
No godzilla sightings just yet. No dirty pantry vending machines as well. But I've fallen in love with the hot green tea from the vending machines.

oh man I just lost a kickass comment I made.
here we go, again.
good to see you're having a grand time on your lil asia trip.
go the cheap mamak food!
go the teh ais!
go the cheap pasar malam and the rows of pirated DVDs!
go the cheap.... everything.
this is where country pride kicks in, yep yep. Malaysia boleh! bwahahah
how did your body adjust from stupidly hot weather to freaking cold snowy temperatures? Man, I cannot wait to see snow outside my window. But I'll be arriving on day one of march, I doubt there will be any snow left. Ah well.
Must get a tip or two from you when you return from your trip.
Enjoy the rest of the fun! Ja mata!
