"You are young, my son, and Over the years go by, time will change and even reverse many of your friends present. Refrain therefore some time to be a judge of the highest matters. "Plato,
Events of this journey begins in about mid-March 2010, when one decided to go on a trip to Malaysia is not a tourist, tourism people to show what they like to see and be held hostage to their "pre-planned" trip …. this is not my idea, in any case I'm not honest capitalist funds, or is unable to walk streets, or convinced of the "perfect" pictures of tourist sites!, tourism is not supposed to be mine, not perhaps of more interest to go to the beach summer, in the kind of year.
Booked a flight after an investigation with a focus on the rate and time, finally, through the lines Kuwait Air Kuwait and retune going to like it was the best, but I did not know the airport waiting to be handled in another independent body plan as if were another trip! .. converge days to be ready to travel and got in touch with some friends, and some hosts of fans of a Couch Surfing known (thanks to my best Hany friend) coincidentally at the same time, other electrical and electronics fair held there, I enrolled in his presence, domestic flights booked at the show and tried to collect as many things possible serious and big "details CSeries Perhaps some unscrupulous! Through online publications and email-living in Malaysia, and heard the stories of a friend who was there, his tone was more aware of the risks normally covered by the Middle East for all passengers "Middle East utopian paradise" as another "fun" as they believe the center of the universe !!!… I kept a bold and timely smile on the face of the speaker and struggles as a joke, all shared a laugh on the street!
The time was just a couple of hours!, I packed up and headed for the airport, I expected a bit of trouble, do not have any prior approval from Malaysia, and all information is managed to achieve the I Egyptian, I can get in Malaysia for three months without prior approval, you can buy three times in the same statement, which was 9 months full … What beautiful place to be exploited and that is what I did, there were events to convert without problems until he has arrived in Kuwait, the journey has begun "expects, met four hours reading and listening to the radio on my mobile phone, in addition to walking exercise in the corridors of the airport, which seemed illuminated by the dark! What I do not know why lighting system at airports is very weak and unworthy so, there is no weight to distinguish the details without getting much closer !!….. When he announced the flight who came to participate in a queue online travel to Kuala Lumpur! My pack started overloading the shoulders, alternating setting and shooting and so on, until the plane, I looked at my site chosen by the Internet service, and found a woman sitting beside him, had to sit down when her husband asked me politely to fill the change that he wanted to sit beside her, I answered immediately, the … seat was very close, it was clear to me that I could not sleep during this trip? however, I tried to find suitable chair "position" and explore opportunities for sleep, but in vain, and I realized I am, I'll be awake during a period of not less than 36 hours … plane took off just minutes before midnight, and Kuala Lumpur, about an hour in the afternoon! Because I could not sleep for the day, the chance to sleep at the right time was the sole occupant, sleep – or need – has evaporated before takeoff! Looking around, then a young features that seemed to have Arabs and young people seemed taken seriously – I think of them – in their view towards life, I was talking about welcome because I understood their dialect difficult to include Iraq, then said: "The seat is tight Tonight .. No sleep, he studied in northern Malaysia control …. The team has begun distributing food, then the passengers began to snore, it is clear that food caused heavy head, took just comfortable "beds" cabin crew handed out blankets, small, medium plates, resisting equipment for fire safety measures, I tried the wind, I felt comfortable and ready to sleep, despite the absurdity of passengers and lack of space, noise and lights and the multitude of opinions about me, but the coverage has changed for the I tested positive impact nap two hours (suggested: the passengers of a long flight to cover a day to sleep easier.)
After six hours, breakfast! I was not hungry, but "the" lack of sleep, took a little shyly, then the plane landed on the afternoon as planned, I felt much the balance of time in my head, my watch shows about 7 am, but I said it was 1 am, I had to turn to the airport and friendly young man walking with the Iraqis he met an Iraqi colleague who was aboard the same aircraft and introduced me to him, he was too old to be a doctor! a man This session is still under consideration at this time! But what his eyes say they are here in Malaysia to escape from Iraq and its problems, it hurts me deeply see that are not related to pay the mistakes of others!
Stamping my passport, given ninety days, "I asked, I found the Iraqis waiting for me after the door of passports, and thanked them for their politeness, gathering their luggage and went to the center, one of them insisted to pay the price for me at the usual generosity, even in Arabic, took our bus from the airport, where dense plants, herbs and gardens, right and left, caught my attention, clean streets so if you wiped every day, he learned that the rain falls at a rapid pace in Malaysia, up to 6 times per day during the rainy season and once or twice during the season of drought. "
Reached the center of town, we took a taxi to the "Arabs", a street that bears the name of Bukit Bintang, I insisted on paying the price, says goodbye to each other, and then went to the hotel I booked through Internet, I found the room ok, a little rest and began to walk and explore the city, after confirming the address of the hotel is not lost! , I started walking in the surrounding streets, exploring the new place, really radically different than the first time, for example, I see cars with the steering wheel to the right, like Britain, and the first time I see the intensity of Chinese culture in this way, shops, restaurants, street signs, … Written in Chinese, found this passage from the first through the streets of Kuala Lumpur, a keen sense of smell is there, you can not describe, but instead, he stuck to all my clothes, my nose, my hands and even my shoes! , Smells like Chinese food on a mixture of urea and humidity around it, walked to buy Malaysian mobile phone SIM card, you asked pedestrians who showed the way to one of the malls specializing in telecommunications, it could not find so decided to continue my way through the march, a man suspected prostitutes offering covered me! "Ma'am, sir ?…… Indonesia, Tagalog, etc …" He said …. I am very upset with him and let him go my way, I felt like dirt in the hearts that transforms human beings as products in this way a slave market …… To me, still I can see the prostitute as a victim, not a criminal, a victim of the class struggle, Did not find it back, leading to sell yourself and your body exposing them to serious risks in order to get your life! later, I received not quite true that in Malaysia some of them are university graduates and have jobs and doing part-time "in order to increase revenues and more welfare, as the price per night or a party is approximately two thousand ringgit, about six hundred dollars U.S., especially on this street, which is for the Arabs … Do not generalize!.
Continues to stand on several occasions with the presentation of the pimps, prostitutes and some, it was like a visitor in that street going to have sex In this way, devoid of any psychological feelings such as love and admiration, only motivated by excessive animal without considering the psychological consequences of the human condition ….. sex Really hard heart!
You have also got to know in Chinatown Price is different, it is only fifty ringgit, or U.S. $ about five ,….. China is still in alignment with the working class!
This is all born of poverty, that if she were a man … I've killed.
If the feeling of revulsion, a feeling Opposition induced mental and intellectual sophistication of those situations that seem to be inspired by the era of slavery!.
Back to the hotel after receiving the SIM card to a game of World Cup football, and after dark went down again to eat and surf the Internet …. a nearby cafe, where I met a young man who has Arab features, began to speak Arabic, Libya, speak together, he said he is in Kuala Lumpur for five months, the study of English, not very happy, I talk about Malaysia and its view about life there, said: "I cheated myself that this is an" Islamic "state, and when I arrived here I lost my money, morals, my time and my religion! "(I have not talked to him the concept of human free will and the fact that the state has no function to "maintain the moral / ethical), and continued his speech in the same way, the level of Middle Easterners in the accent put on the morality and ethics, as if they were in the highest heaven
Back to sleep as I was very tired, I woke up, but the room is still dark, I wondered, "Is there still a long night or the day gone? It was one of the evening, I went to the show, I was happy to have a good night, holding the baby – I mean the day but the important point that I have a little break there, I saw a number of products mostly made in China, South Korea or Europe, I asked the exhibitors on products manufactured in Malaysia, just nothing technologically advanced equipment is manufactured here in Malaysia, then I remembered the words of a CS who says his country has not much innovation or creativity to share! Words can have meaning!
In the program away, started walking in the streets, watching the towers twin Petronas, two masterpieces of architecture is particularly evident in the precision of the engineer who designed, precision refers to the quality of implementation engineer's imagination, I do not think it was conceived in the spirit engineer prettiest sight when the opening of the towers, as I am proud of my work, when I see something designed sees reality and deal with what mattered to me like everything .. and better quality.
As coaches, people like and love to explore their lives, out of my way to the center, where tourists "print" is not dominant is not practical for me at all, I went to the station by using a map drawn in my mind surfing the Internet, little difference between the parties to the east and west of the city without the slightest knowledge of the distance, but the way forward always beautiful, especially if you're enjoying nature completely different than it was, I felt that I am the son of Earth, a creature of minerals and elements, assigned to Earth Earth, it is!.
Took a train, metro in Cairo as well liked, I found myself in an area called Petaling Jaya, I got out of the station has added near power lines! , What surprised me in the city, I concluded that we were on the outskirts of the city, or in other City have just emerged through the expansion of urbanization in the capital, as London and the City of Westminster, a suburb of London, where he expanded to reach and merge with! Several examples like this in the "third world" … I walked without a guide, from a bridge after another law, the investigation and left, taking many pictures in a quiet area, which reminded me of the neighborhood of Maadi, Cairo, I found a supermarket had so much fun to drink pineapple juice, you feel you eat pineapple ….. simple real sweet food then began looking for something new to the area, cafeteria, church, mosque, temple, anything worth shooting, I surprised to see the national electricity company building is quite modest, it appears that the electricity sector is not much gain, despite the crazy price increases kilowatt-hour, I began to feel the need to eat, do not pick up anything from the night before, looking for a restaurant to sample Malaysian cuisine started, it was time that restaurants are the people here … races, by chance, I saw a restaurant that looked like India, entered the restaurant, where no one speaks English, so I had to suggest that the rice and chicken, I know that these dishes from my experience with the Indians in Saudi Arabia, but it was not like I thought it was a strange taste, I asked for water to drinking, the man who is very hot, I thought he understood that I take a shower! He said he is very hot, with English, Arabic and broken Hindi, the man did not understand at all! And was rewarded only with another hot cup, showed him my appreciation, saying to myself, "better than nothing!" Finally, recovery of my way, it was clear that dealing with people is not easy, language is an obstacle and then asked: "Is it a man has to know all languages the world, and not knowledge, but basic right? "I replied," Not enough time in your life to do!, but the trial should be there " I went back to the train, about an hour's walk again, I do not support, it was just to forget the concerns of foreign food I am!.
I passed near the station Train for a Chinese restaurant, the result of writing has been described, I can not "self" beyond the intensity of the smell that smell …. capture my mind later, when a friend called me from Saudi Arabia, saying: "Do not eat in Chinese restaurants not (= Halal Food Muslim law)," exclaimed with a sigh, if (Halal), I would never eat there !!"… went back to the hotel at the end to rest and take a shower, then walk to the cafe at night I went out and found the same man Libya young again, I spoke with him at his desk, talking so much so, after the second night was calm and wait a long day after going to Penang.
He approached the plane, it seems strange that there is red everywhere, filling the plane, so I thought it was a room and not a plane, seemed nice, the red level, without provocation or dramatic, and, but feels something right-wing populist, as the beret worn by Che Guevara, in reference to the power of the people … arrival in Penang, was more beautiful than Kuala Lumpur, quiet, orderly and rain, I went to the show, wandered, and found that it was more organized to be a regional basis rather than in the capital, attended a seminar on the subject that made my postgraduate research on it, that will never come to an end!, when I finished my tour of the exhibition, decided to exercise the march with great enthusiasm, attention at this time of terrible rain, that does not begin until three hours walk that had happened, I had to jump into a taxi and go to the airport waiting to return KL, I can not forget those walking, walking Penang is more fun, quiet, clean, beautiful landscapes and people as I entered the internet to rest a little surf the Internet, I found a "bunch of children playing computer games, mostly with Chinese characteristics, felt that children have impressed more power to challenge the violent games seem to need some sort of tactic that ….. funny guy, no more than seven or eight years, sat Yo, standing outside the raw material, asking permission, forcing me to move my chair to let go, and when he returned, I found "Sly" under my chair and suddenly appeared in her chair beside him, really made me laugh with all my heart, happy children, for whom life becomes really fun significant.
He returned back to KL on a rainy afternoon, it was really new for me to see lines forming raindrops oblique windows, change the angles as resulting changes in the direction of the force with the velocity inclination of the plane later, the raindrops like needles, the rising air above the clouds a relatively stable for flying! Unfortunately, it did not last long until I felt the air hump worst is over, I felt my heart until my feet, women weeping filled the stage! a very bad time!.
The night I was invited to dinner by a Malay CS-Dame, shy of not accepting the invitation and are more Food fear Malaysian experience before leaving, I bought some chocolates as a courtesy in response to the call, arriving home after a while lost in the dark streets, but is close to the center!, there were two Germans, one daughter and her boyfriend, and a young Englishman, the German type to direct the conversation with blonde hair was in Nice, and called in a similar way a ridge to the old Roman soldiers, talked about his journey of about four and half months, I smiled and said asked: "Does not work?" He hesitated and sent his girlfriend to do it, they said, after consulting with the eyes, were "a violation of work, worked for two years and need rest, I smiled and told them I also think they need to rest after working six years as an expatriate, was later asked about the countries they visited, said they have begun to visit Israel, then Egypt, then moved eastward to Cambodia Thailand, Malaysia and, finally, two days before, then the guy asked what area I am in Malaysia? I said, thinking, I'm not Malaysian, I am Egyptian that word was like a bucket of cold water, looked at his girlfriend, and led to the end of the speech, for a moment, I had to call the Virgin after dinner CS had pure Malay food, I ate without the benefit or satiety, and made me suffer nostalgia for my country, my family, my mother and her food … .. later, the young Englishman entered in the kitchen and began to talk about life, traffic, government issues and many surprises, very clear to me that young practice the old European method compliments to talk, remember the crazy in "Hard Times" by Charles Dickens, and meanwhile, I thought, 'bud, play close As the drum sounds in my head "I enjoyed giving more opportunities for more action and pretend politeness, almost finished eating, we all began to see the football match between Spain and Switzerland, the Malaysian wife and two children were there, I realized that her son was smoking in the presence of his mother, and our presence, when such behavior is deemed "shameful" the label of Egypt, I realized there is a difference in customs and traditions! , The game ended, I put all Shacked hand back at the hotel, it was too late, there were no taxis, no transport, no solution other than walking, and shamefully I do not know where I am geographically! However, I realized that I near the center as a matter of common sense because travel time was not far from where I live, I walked along the main road, where several useful signals were there, walking at night was more than a pleasure, a very nice time with Zephyr romantic, and roads, buildings, decorative lighting quiet I did not like I walk on that day he walked about 25 miles back to the hotel to sleep a long night.
I woke up the next afternoon, I decided visit the Islamic Museum in downtown KL, have a three-dimensional replica of each world famous mosque, with the main attributes of each era and architecture in the region, in addition, a variety of weapons in the Malaysian equity, currency, and murals, houses (apparently there is an investigation, the weapons are widespread, may show some of the violence and violence in the history of embarrassment!) … after a long tour in the museum, I returned the hotel to relax during sleep almost an hour!.
In the evening, met with the guy who has a new Libyan Djibouti boys, we started talking together, I noticed in front of hotel where they live, that there was "suspicious" changes for a number of girls and young women appear to be residents of the hotel, I asked the two boys no and they said that the hotel operates in the facilitation of prostitution! The scene was different enough from any speech or any other room!. Conversation me and these young people have followed, expressing my opinion, have refused my opinion asking, in essence, "Are you the practice of religious chastity?" I replied, "I'm not religious, but I'm not an" animal, chastity is an act of resistance to the emerging desire, which by itself did not move not soon. We talked much about the economy, identity, future and politics in Malaysia … .. problems and show how real men 'metal', I heard a few words in this block gave me a good dictionary for some things such as "The Desert and the grass does not grow grass, but the morals and ethics" and "Prison is men serious "and" absolute freedom …. corrupts absolutely "… I fell asleep just before dawn, morning, it was time to go to a Chinese friend of the campaign of Malaysia in Kuala Lumpur SC and I hope that this experience, rural areas are fantastic, I say to the driveway Buddhist statues dominate the red and yellow, while the right of this scene, we see the last "supper" painting of Christ and his disciples, oddly, I asked about this "division" She replied that her grandfather, the son of ten years, nine of them are Buddhists, while his father and his family are Christians, he said – the natural reaction of someone who has lived in the Middle East, where tradition does not allow non-current diversity of religions in a family: "Is this acceptable in your family easily?" Le asked: "Yes, no problem we are all connected to each other!" She replied, and I had to hear what I mean!, Ella, and family were very welcoming, it is clear that parts of the house of the religious, are in rural areas and rural in nature are very much related to religion and I know another reason for this phenomenon "simple farmer who sees all plant growth is a direct act of God" every move and doing too much! Although natural law is in power … .. Suddenly, he saw a book with me was "The Motorcycle Diaries throughout Latin America" by the Argentinian Che Guevara that she could not recognize !!…… hiking in the mountains, I've never seen in my life, I was completely covered with dense plantings, trees and herbs, so after walking for nearly three hours, I began to feel very tired, the mountain is high and steep slopes, "You can not stop because the mosquitoes and ants can" eat "must go further," she said, we reached a hut at the top of the hill, was fighting hard to keep breathing and excessive sweating as if I was going to dissolve ", and then she said:" The first time I went to the mountain was exhausting, but getting used to, "… we find a man business in China and Malaysia, which was the owner of this cabin, which we invaded without permission!, spoke very Well, apparently a good education, he said he had been almost all Arab countries, and then added that the financial and administrative corruption Malaysia would be a catastrophic situation, with reference to discrimination ethics when it comes to the ethnic Chinese as a second class citizen, my friend was too afraid to join the conversation ……. He spoke of the fruits and products manufactured in this country, and how other countries have begun to develop significantly higher than Malaysia due to political corruption began to escalate I do not know what happened to me to ask the man: "Do you know Che Guevara?", Said recently that he does not know! It was not the first person as say a Chinese Malaysian, I understand the culture in this country, namely … .. but do not know where?!.
Down as tiring as necessary to prevent you go in the direction of gravity, then you must make an extra effort finally came back to KL in Malaysia other Chinese Cser, the same group of people who are enthusiastic Travel & Hospitality foreigners, their house was in Petaling Jaya, where I was before, during my second day in Malaysia, there was his sister, his mother and a small dog barks arrow, the house is based on the European system called "Duplex", ie, the rooms are on the first floor, while the hall, kitchen and bathroom are on the ground floor, I thought this dog is a pussy! dogs in the Middle East are too afraid to accept to play their touch.
The beautiful Chinese-Malaysian friend, has treated more than they treat me well, leaving no smile, we sat down for a chat and it was evident that there was a different mentality, which met during this period was fat and can speak good of the community, people, politics and which corresponds to our views on various issues, little by his friend came up to me invited to join them in a night club there was a good opportunity to discover the nightlife of KL-than "dirty" BB-"in the presence of looked different company, also a gay guy from Nigeria studying in Malaysia, with a smile as the famous singer Akon, joined us, we have had enough and began to dance and joy until late at night … .. Last night, waking up around noon, then went to KL Tower in the center of town, overlooking the city, was new to see a city covered with the green cap! … Complete and headed home.
At night, I was invited by my friend a part of jazz, was a band concert Australian women formed by a pianist, played the harmonica, drummer and cellist pace, we entered the room, the pace was slow and quiet a bit, but I really came the heart, the highest peak of excitement and romance, almost like my tears were upset because of my tears the heart, no pity for song, but too bad for me I've never been all that passion to a couple in the world we live in a world darkened by false materialistic values, hypocrites and properties under vacuum, killing the spirit of a human being, it was natural for the world …. romantic moments in my heart of reasoning, but it was the song replacement of the senses of reasoning, that is a sacrifice of love, love that can only exist on paper or abstract in the spirit of a person, but I imagine that As … without a partner in heart.
singer man is a true artist with real feelings, professional harmonica, his voice soft and powerful at the same time his words were lost in the wounds, he went to a man shouted in his life, but things too late, missed, and events, and went solo … mourn! .. Songs were filled with sadness or what is called "Blues", it is realistic to some extent, but in a way that is not excessive pain, or a nihilist, but rather description of the case as it is, an artist who reflects the views and find grace to the song itself, I believe that true art. She has sung for the homeless and how roam the streets at random, stick to the rear walls of the city, and walking aimlessly …. How beautiful this creative artist!.
During a break, I talked to my friend about the concept of happiness in general. "I can bring many moments of pleasure and joy, but the concept of happiness in general, must be verified a and again, I have a feeling of happiness together, though they have accomplished much of what I wanted in my life, but never in something called "abstract" general happiness ….. Event continues in the same rhythm, then spent the night with a rare quiet sleep, even though two of us have discussed on the way back, ideologies, religions, interpretations, these issues are consuming the atmosphere!, saying I'm an intruder is approaching extreme Causality, be proud, regardless of whether is called "Atheism'!!… Coming home, she gave me a cup of cold water in a magnificent gesture, was a wonderful and unforgettable night, I'd met Malaysia!
Last day for me in Malaysia came, I awoke a little before noon, had no intention of launching a long journey awaits me As always, I have not left my book "The Motorcycle Diaries in Latin America" by "Che" Guevara, stretching back on the sofa and began real imagination to read what he wrote, feeling cascade of fighting spirit, lived, Guevara and his friend Alberto, both doctors who have experienced the sense of human resources, promoting the spirit of sacrifice for others, the oppressed, for their right not to let charity or subsidies in rich countries, but to have right to full participation of themselves and their future as human beings equal in rights and duties … .. Part of the day, my friend told me about several things, yet marked by "patience" to hear what I say that if others can not be used to obtain … This flexibility is shown, it is not easy to find these days … I gave him some tickets Egyptian bank, then she showed me a large collection of coins belonging to his grandfather, incidentally, fiber boards showed that there designed in the paintings of Nice looked fantastic engraving, simply, it is clear that the artistic sense, composed of the person who loves the idea of beauty, based philosophically, improves the environment, while those who lead a materialistic life to have a dry light for reading or appreciation of beauty.
The day passed in silence, my friend took me to KL station, where he took the train, fast train this time "at the airport when I left, I felt great as I managed to successfully implement the plan and the trip from the time they lived there that the trip is necessary and essential for human beings to realize that their culture and are not alone in the universe, and most importantly of all for me is to face, dating and life with people who do not forget my long life, and moments of truth and beauty, that it lacked my life as a reality … to rediscover a new man, perspective, to dream again about the reality of expanding horizons and more ambitious targets …. Knowing I'm not as bad as he conceived the idea of sacrifice, or that most successes are "less" than me …….. I am, as I am a simple man who ever carried a firearm.
Final.
