Ah, finally got some sleep. Miri is definatily new money, while Kuching was old money. I think I preferred Kuching, it was more relaxing while Miri seems more like a commercial town. It's amazing how far Mandarin will get you. I've also learned a fair amount of bahasi malay. In fact, I'm planning to establish bahasi malay as the lingua franca of us dundee escapists. It uses different words and grammar to chinese, so I think I should be able to learn it even as I focus on my chinese. Different parts of the brain, I feel.
Planning to walk up mt Kinabaru on sunday. Theoretically you should be able to do it in two days and catch a life changing sunrise. Not sure how many changes in my life I'll be able to take though... :-)
Gotta go. Saya mahu minum bira!
