The Magnet Train, my friends & super packer!

My last comment on China is I traveled with a great group of quirky friends! We had a ton of laughs!


Above is our last leg on the Maglev or Magnet train heading to the airport at 187 mph, they actually had to slow down because people were getting nose bleeds, same with super fast elevators in high rises.


While traveling on such train, I found out that MaryAnn has bought so many Anime toys for her grandkids back in Canada, that her luggage was too full and she was wearing home her 10 tops and had her pajamas stuffed in her waist! I had her cosmetic bag in my luggage and another friend took her adaptors and electronics! Gotta love the dedication to family!


Also note, I also took a pair of shoes for Bosco.in my luggage.  I have become a super packer these days,  with room to spare for others!

KUCHING, MALAYSIA - BORNEO ISLAND

By Pat Patrick • May 22, 2026
BORNEO ISLAND is a fascinating place, that I had honestly only heard of from the reality tv show Survivor. I'm still learning so much, but I had no idea it is the largest island in Asia and 3rd largest island in the World! It is a mini continent, with 3 different Countries sharing the island's land mass ( Indonesia 73%, Malaysia 26% and Brunei 1% ). We are only going to 2 ports in Malaysia now, one in each of the states of Sarawak and Sabah . Below is a video that highlights and explains thing well.

The Port of Singapore is massive and thus deserving of it's own post!
