um…gesundheit…? For those that don’t know what the hell a Kuala Lumpur is, let me try and explain: Kuala Lumpur is Malaysia, baby, where bright jewel-toned colors dance in the fabrics, where the balmy heat meets crystal, cool waters, and where fire-breathing dragons come to life in the spicy chillies found in the food. And guess what? I’m headed there in two weeks’ for my day-time, pays the bills job. Nice, huh?
Besides being located on the other side of the world from Ohio, it’s supposed to be one of the most gorgeous places in the world, so the 24+ travel hours it takes to get there are well worth it, so I’m told. Kuala Lumpur also boasts a wide-range of delightful cuisine. I read that there’s something like 25 different types of curries available. Yes, I am going to try like hell to sample as many of those as humanly possible too. Okay, so this porn writer likes to eat, but she also loves culture, which makes traveling across the world so appealing. One of my favorite things to do is to sit in a corner somewhere, sipping a cool drink; jotting my thoughts into a journal, while steeping in the sounds, smells, conversations and customs going on around me.
Sounds fabulous, doesn’t? Well, just keep in mind, I will be working while I’m there, but I know a person can’t work all the time… and I can hear the beat of the Malaysian drums beckoning me to come out and play and I haven’t even left Ohio yet.
Kuala Lumpur is nowhere near Barcelona -

how great and cool!!! we so hope to hear dirty details from your travel diary:-) congrats to that great buisness trip!
Hey Neve,
James has been to “K.L.” (the insider’s name) on business a number of times and says the food is FANTASTIC. Will you have a weekend to sightsee? Going up the Petronas Towers might be cool, stand on that bridge and be dizzy? I know you will get the most out of this trip and look forward to the report!
Thanks, Danielle. Great hearing from you! Keeping a dirty diary is an erotic writer’s must traveling necessity!!
Hi Donna!
I sort of thought you would have heard of KL. I’ve heard the food and culture is really wonderful. I can’t wait for the experience…although it’s going to take a minute getting there. We say KL around here too, instead of Kuala Lumpur, but I didn’t know how many people would have heard of the term, KL, let alone Kuala Lumpur. I have a feeling along with you, Janine Ashbless is aware of KL, because she just traveled to Cambodia, which is relatively close, geographically speaking.
Anyway, thanks for chiming in here, Donna. It’s great having you out here in blog-o-land, chica.
Just got back from Beijing, around the corner from Kuala Lumpur. Cool stuff.
Wow Neve! How very cool! Take lots of pics of those jewel tones and dancing!
Check this out…

Hey Gina!
Thanks - I’m excited. Yes, I’m going to borrow a camera for this trip.
Beijing? Very cool. Yes, a hop, skip and a jump from KL.
Hey Madison,
Cool. Thanks for the sex writer’s site.
Awesome! If you can tear yourself away from the all the shopping engineers, that is…
Now, we want to see photos, don’t forget! (of KL, not engineers. Unless they are really hot engineers, naturally.) And no, I haven’t been to Malaysia yet. You beat me! I do hope you have a fantastic time there.
Hi Janine,
Yes, geographic points of interest, not engineers…I’ll surely try anyway. Somehow, someway an engineer wiggles (no, wait… engineers don’t wiggle, they plan, yes, plan) their way into my world, to include photos, me thinks. Oh, and speaking of cameras, I may have to borrow a camera, b/c I don’t own one. I know. I know. Bad kitty. I’m going to ask one of my engineer friends if I can pretty, please with the Petronas Towers on top to borrow his.
Well, damn Janine…you were so close to Malaysia on your last trip…why didn’t you puddle jump over there? wink-wink
