About me & other things (yes,
the boring part):

Hi, my name is Mike and I am 35 year old Railway Civil Engineer currently working in the UK, although until recently I was working as an
'ex-pat' in Malaysia on a major railway infrastructure project. For those of
you not too sure of where or what Malaysia is, a short geography
lesson follows.
Malaysia consists of two land masses,
Peninsular Malaysia (the main part) in the West and East Malaysia
(not surprisingly to the East). Peninsular Malaysia lies between
Singapore to the South and Thailand to the North with it's West
coast bordering the Malacca Straits and on it's East coast, the warm waters of the South China Sea gently lap. (to be continued.....)
My hobbies include rock climbing, caving, the
cinema, the Internet (of course) and the links below are intended
to reflect this..
Below are a number of places on the web that I
think are worth a visit either because they're useful or because
they are just fun. Because the number of links has grown to such
an extent that it was becomming difficult to browes them easily,
I have catogorized them into suitable groupings and have provided
(at no extra cost) the navigation bar below to aid you.
(Actually, there aren't that many links but I just liked the idea
of the navigation bar!)
