In KLIA

I'm in Kuala Lumpur International Airport, and I can't get online. There's supposed to be this cool wireless throughout the airport, but I can't get to it-- it requires a password.

Actually, it doesn't. But I was using DHCP to configure my IP address; I then changed it to BootP, and it got right on. (However, looking now at my network configuration, it claims to be using DHCP again.)

This is a very nice airport. No getting around it. Gigantic, spacious, and pretty pleasantly-designed.

It strikes me as odd that Malaysian Airlines ads feature stewardesses who look like carbon copies of the Singapore Air stewardesses, when this is a predominantly Muslim country. Actually it isn't odd at all, given that Singapore Air is probably what they aspire to be-- it's Sony to their Samsung. But it's an image that isn't very representative of the rest of the country.
