I did. I fell in love with Malaysia when I had the good fortune to live there. Most of my time was spent in Kuala Lumpur, but there are other places around the country that I also hold dear.<\/p>\n

When I knew I would be leaving, I went into a sort of mourning. To ease my sadness, I conceived of the idea of making my own photo alphabet book of Malaysia. I began a list of personal icons of Malaysia. While waiting in lines or riding in taxis, I’d take it out and work on it, pondering important questions such as, “Should M be Mont’Kiara, Merdeka Square, mosque or macaque?”<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, I ran out of time to actually create my book. Now that I was back in the USA, I figured it would never come together. Then one day the team at Wetpaint<\/a> invited me to be one of their Early Adopters to try out their new wiki platform. <\/a>(I first mentioned Wetpaint here<\/a>.) <\/a><\/span> I readily accepted, but had no idea of what type of wiki to create. Then I realized it was the perfect opportunity to finally make my alphabet book. Now, not only will I create my keepsake of my time in KL, but others will have a place to do the same for cities or countries that they hold dear.<\/p>\n

Wetpaint will soon have it’s public launching. I’ve been scrambling to add content so that there is something to show in time for the launch. I invite you to come play around at my wiki. I’ve titled it wikiPlaces: The Essence of Your Favorite Places<\/a>. <\/span> I’d be delighted if you added a few photos of places that you hold dear. No expectation that you illustrate all 26 letters, just try your hand at it and let us experience a bit of a place through your eyes. I’d appreciate it.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<\/p>\n
