Scuba Certified

I've been taking scuba lessons the last two weekends and will be certified after I take the written final exam this week. Diving is great here in Miri. I can walk out my front door and be diving over coral reefs in less than 1-1/2 hours. Now I just need to buy some scuba gear.

Me and Kim

I realized that some of you might not have met Kim yet. Here is a picture of us while we were vacationing in Jamaica last year. Three weeks from today we'll be married!

Miri Town

I took a few pictures of "downtown" Miri while driving. If you've been checking this blog periodically you might think that Miri is some paradise since I've really only posted the picturesque views of the area. I often refer to the long flight over as a time machine back to 10 years ago with dot matrix printers, no drive throughs, mopeds everywhere, fastest available internet connection being 1 mb dsl, bottled water and soft drinks only sold as singles in grocery stores, etc.
