Paul and Emma from the UK and Franswa from France were fortunate enough to join me on this sunday escape and were so glad they did. If you folks are reading this, please don’t forget to write to “The Lonely Planet Guide”!
And on the hazy subject of escape, someone pointed out to me that you don’t need to look for the API Index (if they publish it at all and it’s not today) in the local papers to figure out that the haze situation must be really bad; all you need to do is to read the headlines which daily are almost always on our top politicians. And if the headlines are not reporting on them but on some other matters; it simply means that they are all NOT around and have in fact ‘escaped’ from the State until the situation improves!
I think this is truly the real life Great Escape!

Dang! I could have been on this river yesterday!
kelvin - well, make sure u don’t ‘escape’ this next time!
Hmm…kind of like using the aches in your joints to predict the weather or watching animals to predict earthquakes. I guess it makes sense. Politicians due tend to be a unique form of animal, and they are most definitely a pain in one joint or another…
haiya! everyday haze, when is there any day when there’s no haze wor? what a crappy place to be in malaysia!
mm - definitely a pain in the wallet for all tax paying citizens!
wuching - careful with your words ‘uncouth foochow one’! we may be critical but we love this crappy place! ;o)
Haze condition pretty bad in Singapore too!
Ey, I think it’s Francois. Otherwise, pardon my french.
This is one of the best shot of the river, so far. Tranquil and cool.
