She showed me around Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia for a weekend. Here are two pictures of us at the Petronas Towers (highest twin towers in the World). This one was taken on the 41st floor, which is as high as you are allowed to go:&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xYi3Zv9IFDo/SRn6DpxwFNI/AAAAAAAAAAM/xfKXezI-2Ak/s1600-h/Image1.png"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 292px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xYi3Zv9IFDo/SRn6DpxwFNI/AAAAAAAAAAM/xfKXezI-2Ak/s320/Image1.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5267516179847582930" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Here she is, "wearing" the Petronas Towers. She hates this picture, as she thinks it makes her look "fat", but I think it's cool. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xYi3Zv9IFDo/SRn6jj_XGTI/AAAAAAAAAAU/ZzeRLgU9Skc/s1600-h/Image3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xYi3Zv9IFDo/SRn6jj_XGTI/AAAAAAAAAAU/ZzeRLgU9Skc/s320/Image3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5267516728049867058" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That weekend went pretty well, so we're going to give two weeks together a shot. The say vacations are a good "test" of compatibility, so we're going to find out. ;) One thing I discovered during the weekend is that she has no sense of direction. I have yet, actually, to find a woman with a sense of direction. My theory about that is that since men, traditionally, are hunters, they have a sense of direction and tunnel vision. Women on the other hand, have 40% more peripheral vision, which is useful if you're doing chores, watching kids, and scanning the local woods for trouble, but they don't have a sense of direction. Here she is, getting us lost at the National Mosque in KL:&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xYi3Zv9IFDo/SRn8gvRe9pI/AAAAAAAAAAc/OzxyboR51R4/s1600-h/Image17.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xYi3Zv9IFDo/SRn8gvRe9pI/AAAAAAAAAAc/OzxyboR51R4/s320/Image17.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5267518878562317970" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nadiana doesn't usually wear a hajib, but it was required at the mosque. Here, I am, wearing a traditional garment for the occasion:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xYi3Zv9IFDo/SRn9QG72FGI/AAAAAAAAAAk/_0lV_yIsxPI/s1600-h/Image18.png"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 236px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xYi3Zv9IFDo/SRn9QG72FGI/AAAAAAAAAAk/_0lV_yIsxPI/s320/Image18.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5267519692367860834" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tres awkward, no?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, one more picture, here we are, wearing 3D glasses for a presentation at the Towers. Do we look dorky or what? ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xYi3Zv9IFDo/SRn-FIV4ONI/AAAAAAAAAAs/IBp0tmbNtfI/s1600-h/Image9.png"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xYi3Zv9IFDo/SRn-FIV4ONI/AAAAAAAAAAs/IBp0tmbNtfI/s320/Image9.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5267520603278555346" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1985662277429196571-1522518558132693924?l=paulsvac.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://paulsvac.blogspot.com/feeds/1522518558132693924/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1985662277429196571&amp;postID=1522518558132693924' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1985662277429196571/posts/default/1522518558132693924'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1985662277429196571/posts/default/1522518558132693924'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://paulsvac.blogspot.com/2008/11/pretrip-intro.html' title='PreTrip Intro'/><author><name>kheserasera</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14995933014072994590</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xYi3Zv9IFDo/SRn6DpxwFNI/AAAAAAAAAAM/xfKXezI-2Ak/s72-c/Image1.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
