We’re incredibly lucky to see these sights and spend time with our gracious hosts.
BTW, add revaluing the Yuan to make Chinese goods more expensive for Americans in order to spur investment in American jobs to the list of idiotic and naive ideas to come out of the Obama administration. Yeah, let’s have Americans pay artificially high prices for foreign goods to remove marginal capital from their pockets, while we increase their taxes to pay for the socialized health care we shove down their throats, so they feel like becoming entrepreneurs to create jobs that the feds can regulate to death and suck out more funding for the welfare state. Just who’s going to buy these proposed American goods that are expected to cost more? Let’s see, in Obamanomics, comparative advantage means the privilege of paying more for less. I guess we’re all supposed to feel so good about our new socialism that we’ll just overlook our own impoverishment.
While that sinks in, here’s some more pics to ponder:

Just a sampling for now. We’re in the tropics tonight – Kuala Lumpur. A bug the size of my big toe just ran across the floor – the 8th floor. Ewe! Creepy. Sweet dreams.
