There is something some kind of strange when you arrive to a new city, at 5 am. on a different bus terminal that you were supposed to. Nevertheless asking a few questions in English and sign language you find out that this city has a very nice Metro System but opens at 6 am, no biggie just wait and in an hour and 15 minutes I was in an area half Hindu half Chinese, looking for a place to stay with a broken toe, no the big one the one next to the little one (sorry I asked several British people and nobody has a name for it, help me in this one Walter) also my ribs were bothering me product of a bad position on the bus or who knows where, but somehow between the lady boys the dirty old men and typical people I found a clean place to spend the night., again no much ,shared toilette and shower with hot water for about 30 ringgit, only a fan on the room but ac on the building so it was quite cold.
The city is kind of nice with very modern buildings no two alike ,it  seems that there is a law against it, lots of green everywhere, but somehow not very cohesive, people keep to themselves probably cause of the Muslim influence and the variety of nationalities that apparently do not mix much. I went to Petronas Tower, a really beautiful building, designed  by the same architect that designed the Miami Opera building, Cesar Pelli, of course I would not have paid any attention to all of these except for the fact that he is from Argentina.
Well no much more to said, of a big city, tomorrow is a quick flight to Borneo to dive Sipadan.

Toes
Dear friend, according to the wonderful wikipedia:

The toes are, from medial to lateral:

Big toe (hallux)
Second toe
Third toe
Fourth toe
Little toe (Colloquially known as the pinky toe)

Therefore, I would assume you fractured the 'fourth toe'.

I now have a beautiful young Galician lady in my class. She tells me that in Galician the toes are called: Pulgar, Indice, Corazón, Anular, and Meñique.
