Using Swine Flu to Sell Your Product
Swine Flu has to be the most covered and most talked about event in the last two years, and it’s not even that serious. From what I’ve read, the fatality rate is only 0.1%, which is less than the fatality rate of actual flu. It’s a new disease though, and it’s in the media limelight,…

3 Days in Kuala Lumpur: Part 10: Heading Home
Before we knew it, our short 3 day trip in Kuala Lumpur was coming to an end. On the morning of the third day we were there, we got up at 9 am to make sure we wouldn’t be late. We really had no idea how to get back to the airport. On the way…

3 Days in Kuala Lumpur: Part 4: Finding Our Hotel
If you remember from the first post, we booked a place at Hotel Chinatown 2, on Jalan Petaling. One of the things that appealed to us about the place is that it’s near the center of town, close to a train station, and there are lots of shops around it, or so we had read.…
