More than meets the eye...

Transformers.  Robots in disguise...
Malaysia rocks -- I just saw Transformers in a theater (i.e. completely legally) for three bucks and before it was released in the states =)  I don't care what the critics were saying.  So what if it would only ever appeal to twenty/thirty something guys who grew up with the toys -- it was awesome!!!!  It actually came out last Friday but then I was in a small town in the hills with no movie theater. 
Now I'm in Kuala Lumpur.  Very metropolitan.  I spent the morning getting all the things I need for my work visa application but didn't get to the embassy early enough to drop it off so I'll have to do that tomorrow.  Then I hung out at the twin towers -- didn't go up though (I'll stop by early tomorrow morning and see if I can get a ticket to visit the sky bridge).  I was amazed by how american the mall seemed.  Reminded me of 900 North Michigan (or is it 600...) in Chicago.  There was a Chile's, California Pizza Kitchen, Auntie Annes and pretty much all the upscale clothing stores you'd expect to see all over the Magnificent Mile. 
The hills were a nice break from the heat.  It was actually cold at night.  Unfortunately now my body has to adjust back to the heat and humidity. 
Not really too much else to say.  I'm a bit tired and need to get to bed so I can get up early and head back to the embassy.  Not sure exactly when I'll be leaving for bangladesh, but it sounds like it'll be soon. 
Happy 4th everybody back home.  Enjoy your day off -- I know I will =)
