G's New Blog

Good morning and welcome to the new Saffa_G Blog! That’s right another blog...from another South African......but not living in SA. I am staying in a great place at the moment, it is hot, fresh, weird smelling and cheap and that’s just the food....Kuala Lumpur is a bustling city with lots of things to do to keep you busy...and of course empty your wallet. What is strange though is that things are so much cheaper than in good old South Africa. It seems that we just enjoy being ripped off back at home. Obviously the economies are very different and the tax, but still it really does hurt to pay so much for things in SA. I guess as long as everyone keeps buying them and doesn't boycott products then the manufacturers and the resellers will continue in the current trend of ripping all consumers off ;)

So yeah, you guessed it, I am living and working Malaysia, not based in KL, but in a state called Selangor and the town is called Bandar Sunway....lovely place with many Mountain Biking Trails nearby. Malaysia is a very humid and hot place and mostly experiences some countries annual rainfall every afternoon in a space of about 3 hours...crazy I know, but it doesn't seem to phase the locals...they just carry on as normal, if you can call it normal. 4 people sharing a motorbike? Father in the front, 4 year old brother behind him, 5 year old sister behind the brother and the mother at the back....all this on a 125cc Kriss Motorbike that looks like it was designed in the late 70's. The best part is that the old man still thinks he is Valentino Rossi and he takes corners like him too. But don't get me wrong, I am not complaining, just trying to paint the picture for you.....keep checking the blog as I will update it whenever I get a chance. Cheers for now G
