Decorations were even bigger than the last time, but less party on the streets: weather didn’t co-operate and it was mostly raining in the afternoons. But that did not stop enjoying ourselves, as always. Some absolutely amazing food, cinemas and retail therapy.
We did have a hard task to do here this time. It was time to say good-bye to our old diving BCDs… well, temporarily really. We shipped them back to Cyprus (with about half the stock of local Crocks shop – they had a really good Christmas special).
But all is not bad – we bought new dive gear. It is amazing the progress producers did in the last 20 years! New dive jackets have pockets. And additional straps (that we are not using for diving really – old school). And you don’t have to kick as a lunatic to move ten meters with new fins. There is definitely something to replacing gear every now and then. We are thinking of being bold and actually reducing our normal time of never (well, it takes 20 years for plastic to start breaking) to about 18 or 19, but let’s see how it goes….
As Malaysia is predominantly Muslim, alcohol is pretty expensive and we decided to spend New Year Eve in Singapore. They are supposed to have the best fireworks in Asia anyway...
