hug me, I'm HIV positive
Well, not me but this chick I saw today. No shit, she was wearing a sign around her neck that said so. She was with a whole group of people that seemed to be some sort of support group. Now, before you go off on a tangent about what I’m talking about I’ll just explain the situation.
I’m currently sitting in the business centre of the Golden Sands Resort on the extremely humid and lovely island of Penang. For those not really in the know, Penang is the sister city to Adelaide and is part of the country of Malaysia.
I’m here in a two week jaunt with my sister mainly for shopping. When you break it down our main thoughts while we are here will mostly be where we’re going shopping next.
As soon as I pick up a digital camera while I’m here I will be taking lots of photo’s, there’s just so much stuff to see thats both beautiful and disturbing. Someone else needs to see this as well.
The flight up here was cool, I had a small 8″ TV on the back of the seat in front of me to keep me entertained, Malaysian Airlines has skyrocket to the front of the list of ‘Fatloaf Preferred Airlines’. The flight from Adelaide to Kuala Lumpur and then from KL to Penang were fantastic, very smooth and the crew was excellent. I would recommend them heartily.
I did go for a bit of shopping today, just to have a look at how the place has changed since I was here last. It’s weird to know that you are the outsider in this community, that you are the one they are looking at as strange. But I’m the caucasian in the mostly indian/asian society so its to be expected.
I will be posting about every other day I think, just something to do in the rest time of me not a) shopping, b) drinking or c) swimming. Simple really.
Anyway, happy hour awaits.
