Fifth Day in Kuala Lumpur

Today I had to go to a meeting with the SWEA International Board and talk about my involvment with the electronic newsletter. When I got back, we headed out to check out a place called Hutang Village, which was like a Chinese food court. We decided not to eat there, because we didn't think it looked all that clean and I have to be careful, since I am immunosuppressed. Instead we went back to the Pavillion and a Spanish restaurant. After lunch, Spanish tortilla, which was not very good, we once again made our way to China Town to buy fake bags for another Swede, who did not have time to shop. I bought a red watch.

In the evening I was invited with the SWEA VIPs to the resident of the Swedish ambassador to Malaysia. It was a lovely house, but unfortunately Sweden is closing even this embassy in a few months. (They have already closed New York and LA and maybe even more - I don't know). The ambassador and his wife welcomed us all and then the ambassador disappeared because this was just ladies night. The wife is a member of SWEA as well. We were served a very tasy buffet and the tables were set outside. It was quite warm but they did have some fans blowing, which helped. We were a lively crowd and the sound level was up really high. Us Swedish women are known to be quite loud when we get together, but oh, it is so much fun!

Tomorrow we are going on an all day tour to Malacca.
