(MALAYSIA)

Quick Update: I crossed into Malaysia

I just crossed the border from Singapore, and am now waiting around at the dodgy Larkin bus terminal 15 kilometers north of Johor Bahru, Malaysia. A friendly Malaysian football supporter let me connect to his 56k connection in his small cell-phone shop, so I was able to post this quick update.

In 30 minutes I will board an over-night bus to the Perhentian Islands (tiny Kecil, to be specific) in northeastern Malaysia, near the Thailand border. More to come soon, hopefully!

In the mean time, COME ON YOU GUNNERS! Tonight there is a chance to go eight points clear at the top of the Barclays Premier League, even if it is only short-lived. (I am sorely disappointed I will miss the game, my first for the season thus far!)
