Day 1 - part 2

Tidbits from our 1st day:
1. You can get a McDonald's ice cream cone for just ~50 cents. We couldn't resist.
2. Malaysia is HOT - all year round! There is a high of about 95 deg F daily, without the heat index.
3. Taxi drivers REALLY want to be sure you don't want a lift. Just give them a glimmer of eye contact (or none at all), and there is a chorus of hopeful questioning: "Taxi? Taxi? Taxi? Taxi? ...ma'am Taxi?"
4. (My favorite) Most natives speak English, and many words are English derivatives. The spellings crack me up, e.g. "Teksi"
