Kuala Lumpur: Third Uncle, Aunt; traffic; Popo's appetite

We met Auntie De Xia and Third Uncle this morning for breakfast. Auntie De Xia brought us to another great food place. We had laksa, other soup noodle, and "economy rice." Economy rice is a self-serve dish where the customer gets a plate of rice and covers it with whatever dishes he wants. This morning's restaurant had a large selection.

Auntie De Xia and Third Uncle own a hardware store and lighting store. The hardware store has knick-knacks like electrical adapters and converters and flashlights. The lighting store sells lamps and chandeliers. Auntie and Uncle work seven days a week.

Daddy and Mommy and Jay tried to sort where they'll go in July, after I leave. They'd like to travel somewhere cool (not hot), like Tibet. They asked a travel agent in the Sungei Wang Mall about tickets to Tibet. They're expensive.

Jay and I walked around the Mid Valley Megamall this afternoon. We got some ice cream, drinks, desserts, and clothes at Carrefour.

Everywhere you turn is a traffic jam in KL. The time of day doesn't matter. I've sat in a long line of slow-moving cars in every car ride I've taken in KL this trip, starting with the bus ride in from Singapore. I wonder what the city planners can do about it.

Popo has a super healthy appetite even though she's 82 years old and thin. She seems to eat whatever I offer her! After a meal of rice and beef, she ate four pieces of durian and a few pieces of asian pear.

I'm watching Shaolin Soccer as I write this. Its content and humor resembles that of Kung Fu Hustle, another movie by Stephen Chow. I laughed when Stephen Chow and his fellow Shaolin expert sang Shaolin's virtues in a rock band.
