KUALA LUMPUR FAITH and SCIENCE CONFERENCE
The real reason for the trip to Malaysia was to talk to a couple of churches about issues dealing with science and Scripture. I was scheduled for five meetings (including one church service) in 24 hours starting Friday evening….. We had technology:

MY WEEKEND IN KUALA LUMPUR
I got to go to KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia!! Second time, but in 2002 all we did was change buses here….it’s got some spectacular scenery….
.
.
There really were two parts to the weekend—from the time I left Manila at about 9:00 p.m. Thursday a week ago until Friday evening was the first part, which I call The Tour. The second part will be a different post, and that’s the Friday evening, Sabbath morning, and Sabbath afternoon Faith/Science Conference.
Everything began at my front door, when the taxi driver arrived around 4:15 in order to be sure that I got to the airport two hours ahead of flight time. It can take anything from 60 minutes to more than two hours to make the trip to the NINOY AQUINO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, because the route is one of the most congested in the city. As it turned out, my driver knew what he was doing, took a “short cut” that added 10 kilometers to the trip, but he avoided the worst of the congestion and we made it in about an hour and a quarter. That means I sat around for 3+ hours, but that’s fine—much better than being late!
I was glad for the extra time, too - after checking in and getting my boarding pass, there were a couple of fellows in front of the second security checkpoint who insisted on weighing all the carry-on baggage. I had everything in one rollaround, and it weighted 12 kilos or so. They said nothing over 7 kilos could be carried on, and sent me back to the checkin line. I removed my laptop case and slung it over my shoulder, plus put some stuff in my pockets, and got the bag down to 7.7 kilos and the lady gave me a sticker that made it OK.
Once through the security point, it appeared that this airport is still under construction, which made for a strange vista….
