Day 136 - I continued to lie low yesterday and grabbed some extra sleep as a bonus. However, that meant that after breakfast I was ready to go outside to do nearly anything. The closest pharmacy is just up the street in the Little-India neighbourhood. We stopped to pick up those, often-used, over-the-counter medicines that are so much cheaper than at home. In most parts of the recently developed world, local pharmaceutical manufacturers produce high-quality, low-cost drugs. We find no need to pay for IMODIUM® at home when we can pick up the same medicine for around a quarter of the price here. We've frequently done this in past years and although the prices aren't as cheap in Malaysia as in some countries, it seems worth the effort.
We also threw some shirts and underwear in our backpacks. We have a flight to Phuket, Thailand at around noon tomorrow. We're staying in the thick of it at Patong beach for four nights.
Finally! I found a place to buy my fake, plastic bunches of mangoes.
