bye bye malaysia

left malaysia (multiple entry thai tourist visa in hand) with a curious reluctance to return to thailand. though penang is not my favorite place in the world, it does have a strange lure to it. i didn’t see much of it (especially today, as i woke up horribly ill), but i saw enough to know that i definitely want to go back. i had lunch with a nice guy from slovakia (or maybe slovenia) before it was time to go. on the way to the airport i saw the same lecherous indian man on motorbike from the other day. i flipped him off as i got in my taxi.
