Apologies for the sombre tone of the last entry but i just really felt we were wastin what little time we had left in that place. Wasnt all bad in the end tho, we got two days of reaaly good weather which we got to spend on the practically deserted beach. The last night we were there we went for a few beerss, however twas the kings birthday, a day where alcohol cannot be comsumed so we had to drink beers out of coffee mugs and order a 'cappacino' with a wink whenever we wanted another beer.
But we did finally make it to Malaysia and its great, we're in georgetown/penang which is malaysias 2nd largest city. The people here are from all over, the indian part of town is just round the corner from us and great for gettin shed-loads of curry and such for next to nothing, altho watchin them eat a tika masala with their right hand isnt that appetising. Spent most of yesterday in the biggest shopping mall ive ever seen, we even went to the cinema (i dont care if thats cheating, and it wasnt all good anyway, they only had caramel popcorn, Horror!). We tried buying runners but the biggest size we found was 9, silly little people.
Malaysia isnt the muslim country you hear about, its a muslim holiday today and as my friend from india i was drinkin beers with outside 7/11 put it, "we dont care because we are not f**king muslims". Everyone here seems to speak english even to each other, probably the easiest way since theres so many nationalities here. Well we have just 2 weeks left now and i think we'll spend nearly all that down this way. tomorrow were going to take a bout over to sumatra in indonesia where we will go treking into the jungle to see orang utangs (finally get to use the hiking boots ive been carrying around), and after that we'll head to kuala lumpur and check out the petronas?? towers, i think they're still the tallest building in the world, until that huge one in dubai is finished anyway.
Sorry thats all i can think of, nt that much happened in the last few days...
