Sambal Sauce (1)

Cooking lesson, I am just being attacked by army of mosquitos at the same time.

Jon is forced to participate - he is the only man in the class oh wow.

We didn't do much on Easter holidays - this year in Hong Kong, good Friday and the Chin-Ming holidays together with the weekend means roughly 6 or 7 days off from work. So we got the most reasonable tickets to fly away, ending up in Kuala Lumpur (I was thinking about going to Honui, Vietnam but it is just not possible to get anything). I thought tropical weather, good food and night life, KL could be pretty good. We can then hire a car to drive to the beach, wow, perfect. It turned disastrous, the decision to hire a car. The highway signs are totally unfriendly and there are almost motors ways/toll roads everywhere. If you miss an exit, chances are you have to drive for miles to get back on and pay another toll. For a city of 1.5 million population, it has staggering amounts of toll road. It is obvious some money has changed hands due to these type of government own infrastructure construction. It took us 3 hours to get to the hotel (for a supposing 1.5 hour drive) the road sign shows to Kuala Lumpur but it is actually heading back to the airport, we were lost after hitting the first construction site. We had no map no smart phone, gas station do not sell maps because maps do not help. Sometimes you cannot find anyone speaking English because the gas station workers looks like new immigrants. We thought our nightmare is over when we drove around in the broad daylight - wrong. Again we were lost on the way to Batu Cave, which is supposingly 20 minutes drive away from the city center. It took us 2.5 hours to get there - it was a bit heart breaking to see the beautiful cave being cemented into a Hindu temple but what can you do.
