defrogIt is time. I’m off to Malaysia in the morning on another mission in the name of telephones.
Destination: Langkawi. Which looks like this.
Or, if you prefer, like this.
Not sure how much of it I’ll get to see, unless the ballroom where we shall be sequestered with nothing but coffee and PowerPoint® to keep us alive has a sea view. Which it won’t. I am an experienced journalist. I know these things.
Anyway, expect reports. Maybe. The website of the hotel where they’re sticking us has an asterisk next to the sentence “Wireless Broadband Internet Access (Wi-Fi) is available in guest rooms, the Lobby, Business Centre, Games Room, Poolside and The Restaurant”. And the asterisk stands for “This service is on a best effort basis and is not recommended for heavy use.”
Not a good sign. For I am nothing if not a heavy user.
Anyway, the good thing is I’ve never been there. Malaysia, yes. Langkawi, no. So it’ll be a new experience – one that hopefully won’t include tsunamis. (Langkawi is another island that got hit by the Boxing Day Tsunami, though not too hard.)
Gimme danger,
This is dF
