I always assumed that the hill is called ‘Bukit Nanas’ because there used to be pineapples planted on the slopes (nanas = pineapple). That’s what KL Forest Eco Park was known as, you know, until recently. Bukit Nanas Forest Reserve....
If you’ve somehow run out of things to do in KL, you can pop across into the adjacent Malaysian state of Selangor. Bukit Gasing (or Gasing Hill) in Petaling Jaya is a rare bit of Klang Valley forest. It was...

I remember learning how to weave palm leaves as a child when we were on a holiday in Goa. I enjoyed it so much my poor dad had to keep getting me fresh palm leaves for the next couple of weeks. It was an interesting craft and quite soothing. We used it to provide makeshift roofing for shade.
You know how bloggers from modernised countries exploring other cultures write about how travel exposes you to people who are outstandingly generous, hospitable, spiritual, etc. etc. and it expands you? OK, here's the update from the other side. The reverse way is also true. If you *are* from a generous, sincere, or some kind of good and true place, travel also exposes people who for some reason don't know how to deal with that.

![So, what’s in my travel toiletries bag? The bathroom is one of the places where plastic and single use packaging dominates. I’ve been steadily swapping them out for reusable, refillable, solid, or compostible alternatives and while I have some tweaks planned to this, this is where I’m at.
