When I was traveling, my interest was mainly cooking, so I was eating noodles in a hawker stall in Penang.
To my chagrin, I failed to avoid the media --
Totally relevant ideas :--
Discovery channels are everywhere: as far as I know, Discovery channels have an extraordinary international presence with at least 170 countries, and Malaysia is one of them.
In every hotel we stayed in, the channel lineup was very small, but the discovery was always on the deck.
In the airport waiting room, you will often watch Discovery (NSDQ: DISAB).

Firefox and IE are loaded.
