8:00 a.m. Bird Nest Guest House
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
I made a useful discovery at the guest house yesterday. I learned that I could use the computer in the reception area to upload pictures. At first, I had trouble. The pictures would upload but then I’d get an error message at the very end and lose everything and have to start all over. I …
