Kuala Lumpur
We're now enjoying ourselves in Kuala Lumpur, although we've quickly worked out that drinking isn't an option really given the price of alcohol. It's very western and but for that I'm really enjoying it...I think Michelle is too but we walked for miles today and so she is having to sleep now to recover!!
Please excuse the attempt an arty photo through a water feature at the highest building here...we haven't actually been up the towers yet but I'm sure we'll venture up one of the skyscrapers over the next few days.
I have already located the sports cafe for England v NZ rugby on Sunday - it's televised here at 11:30 at night...I don't think we have much hope but supporting any team isn't about supporting them only when you think they are going to win!
We're in a great little place called Pontok Lodge (I think) in an area called the Golden Triangle. Basically round here there are bars and restaurants everywhere and it's all pricey. We have a nice clean room for a decent price though, and the internet connection is two steps from our bedroom door, so when Michelle wakes up she has no excuse not to leave a post...

The double-towered building was under construction when the MTS cricket tour visited KL. At least the Malaysians manage to complete their projects, we're still struggling to complete Wembley two years behind schedule (but then we did employ an Aussie firm to build it!).
I agree that England v NZ is likely to be disappointing. We'd struggle even if at full strength, but as usual many of the first choices are injured. I'm sure there weren't as many injuries in the "bad" old days, when the players were less highly trained and allegedly less fit.
You could argue that with the players all bigger, stronger and fitter now, the impacts are consistently harder these days and that takes the toll on their bodies, whether they are fit or not...I am sure anyone over 40 will disagree with that!
