The walk in Kuala Lumpur was not that bad, though the humidity was always a problem *grumble* I passed by a dozen ugly-looking colorful trees, a complete mockery to Mother Nature.

In 2009, I traveled to Bangalore and Mysore. Spent a week in the sprawling provincial capital, absorbed the sights and sounds of the elites and the poor.
