ULOG 16: A New Day in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia

I have had a bit of sleep but not enough. After I get done with this post, I will sleep again. I’m not eating well, or feeling well, and I am so worried about money. I keep waking up with nightmares and soaked in sweat. I feel like I need to do something else but I don’t know what that would be.

Where am I staying?

I am in a hostel in Chinatown, This is near an MRT Station called Pasar Seni. I am close enough that I can see the station from the rooftop terrace here:

I have a bed in a room with 6 beds, on a floor for women only. I like it a lot and I think I will be fine here. The only problem is the price which is a lot higher than I planned.

I did not stay in the cheaper place I was going to go to. I looked at the Google maps for the good directions when I was still in the bus station, and this is what I found in the recent reviews:

It got worse from there. Booking dot com had mixed reviews, but nothing this bad. I decided I could not stay there and ended up where I am now. I’m in the same general location where I thought I would be.

But this place is about 50% more in the price and also wants a deposit of 2 nights. If I had given the deposit, I would have no money at all, so she let me go for a few nights on that.

Then steemit’s prices dropped along with all other crypto. So I do not have enough to pay to stay here as long as I planned.

Good Points Here:

• great wifi
• A terrace where I can work 24 hours a day without bothering anyone. That is my computer setup in the back of the shot and you get see a bit of the Hindu Temple next door:

• quiet room, comfortable bed
• clean place, good showers and bathrooms – many of them on all floors, all can be used.
• nice staff
• people around so I will not be such a hermit

Bad Points Here:

• So many stairs! This is good for exercise but it is exhausting, and killing the arthritic parts of my lower body.
• More expensive than I wanted to pay.
• No place or way to make my own food. Even the fridge for guests is locked in the back somewhere.

Food is Failing me in Kuala Lumpur

I haven’t found any good food here, but it may be nearby and I just haven’t run into it. The places I have looked at are all at least double or triple the cost of food in Bangkok, and the food is not as healthy. I hope to find a market, but so far I have only found restaurants, convenience stores, and street food that is not cheap.

I have spent way too much on food that is not even good for me. So my stomach is really upset and I feel generally ill.

Good News for Photos

I have great wifi here and some other guests helped me to get my photos off my phone and into a fb album.

I have not mentioned before that a lost my camera about a month ago. So I have been using my phone to take shots. But I had no idea how to download them anywhere and I still do not have service on the phone. So now the problem is solved and I have 400 recent photos to go through.

I know we all hate fb, but in this case it works wonderfully. I was able to:

• easily connect my phone to the wifi here and fb
• get all my photos into a hidden fb album
• All my photos are available at Canva without further action from me
• fb downloaded them to my computer quickly
• then I could delete them all off my phone since I want the memory and I don’t need them there.

This is probably the brightest spot of my day.

Weight Loss

Another guest in my room is a nutritionist from Argentina. Like me, she works with obese people. Like me, she finds success to be rare. Much of her work is in clinics where sick, obese people come when they have no hope.

She went to NYC for three months and was astounded by how fat everyone was, how large the food portions were, and how bad the nutrition was in the food she could get. Therefore she left earlier then she planned.

I came away from this conversation more discouraged than before. How will I reach anyone to help?

I have several weight loss posts coming and I feel too discouraged to even work on them.

What’s Next?

I’m going to reception now to see what kind of deal I can get for a month here or to stay successive weeks. I don’t know where else I could find that would be better. I’m not feeling well enough to come up with good ideas.
