How are things in Malaysia? I mean, how's the locals attitudes towards Americans and the U.S. in general? I knew quite a few Malay going to school here and they were all very friendly and polite.

Also, great post, I liked it a lot. I kind of lean toward that side of the fence of capitalism and market penetration myself.

hehe, I said penetration.

The local attitude is pretty good. Depends on where you are at and what type of individuals you are speaking with though.

Things become a lot different when you speak the language really. You find people are more welcoming and accepting. If you think about it, that should be true anywhere.

There are a lot of lessons learned here about business.

Not as bad as you might think, the islamofacists - it will take a long time for this to settle down.

I'd love to come back to America one day, but at this time, American employers don't understand nor respect the skills that I have acquired, nor do they know how to apply them.

I recommend a coded message delivered by a stage three navigator from the Cheesing Guild to the Baron Darry Productus declaring Kanly (vendetta, using the Old Tongue) on Emperor Krafty if a sufficient supply is not forthcoming immediately.

If the Baron and Emperor do not comply, the a suprise attack by your Nachocar Warriors will be launched. If the Maylays are denied their nachos then the Warriors will embargo all nacho producing facilities in the US with their Low Riders.

With nacho production at a standstill, the Emperor will be forced to deal with you directly. You might have to marry his daughter or something, but the pasteurized cheese-like substance will flow!



(And my wife says I spend too much time on the computer!)

I don't want to suggest anything too radical, but you know, it is possible to actually MAKE cheese sauce from scratch.

First you make a roux with flour and butter (or oil) and then whisk in milk and cheese over low/medium heat. I know Velveeta is easier, but if you're really desperate.....

If you have a recipe for a thick nice cheese sauce that can be kept warm without seperating - that goes GREAT for ballpark-style nachos drizzled over tortilla chips - then I am all ears!
