Wrong Trousers
Ok, not really the wrong trousers, but I made a few packing gaffes when coming to Malaysia. I forgot my DVI to VGA adapter for my Powerbook, so I can't give my training materials as a slideshow. Aww. But the shortcomings in the clothing department are a bit more annoying.
If ever there was a place where I should have brought my linen shirts, it's this one. The hotels we've been staying in have pools. Kickass. Did I bring trunks? No. Am I going to buy another "I forgot mine so I buy one on the road" pair again? No, my closet at home won't permit it. Did I bring shorts? Well, yes, but none with pockets, so I can't really walk around with my wallet in my hand. How about footwear... you know, some sandals would be really comfy right now. Let me check the suitcase. Uh, no. Crap!

Since Brokeback Mountain was banned here completely, yeah, I'm guessing skinning dipping would also be "bad, mm'kay"?
So sad. At least hang out by the pool with a drink in your hand and make it look like you are so cool you intentionally aren't swimming.
Buy the trunks, swim, and leave them in the hotel when you go home. :)
P.S. Let me know about the sporks.
Having a drink by the pool? Not so fast... Muslim country, all that. No booze. Well, booze is really expensive, and I dunno if they'd let me have it by the pool.
I actually did go shopping, looking for shorts, or trunks that might play a dual role. But the L here is not an American L, and I just couldn't bring myself to buying XL.
I think F might take you up on the spork offer. I've been sneaking food with my left hand, shhh!
