In Bangkok, Mumbai, etc I see so many 'travellers' with LP handbooks in hand taking a long time trying to track down a street for a guesthouse when all they have to do is a) take a cab; b) ask a local. Hey, it's a good excuse to talk to a pretty girl and even in Kuala Lumpur cabs are so cheap that trying desperately to be independent is rather ludicrous. Almost as silly as trying to be anonymous anywhere outside of deserts and jungles post 9/11.
In reply to the reason who reminded me that I am traceable via ISP - yeah, I suppose I could use anonymizing proxies and all of that. But I am too lazy, so I don't bother. It's not like I am fugitive from injustice (at least not lately).
