Sian's global adventure
so much time on buses!!!
well im in cameron highlands, a hill station up in the malaysian hills full of tea plantations and strawberry farms. its nice nd cool here and fun things to do around and about. went to a tea plantation today and strawberyy farm-yummy fresh strawberries with cream, then to a butterfly farm which was very cool. huge butterflies! before this we'd been in penang for a couple of nights. had some fantastic indian food- yep mum u heard right. i had two indian meals. spice doesnt bother much me anymore!! also got a very cheap haircut from a professional stylist and it looks pretty nice. trying out a side parting for a while, ill see how it goes. it was qabout 3 quid for a wash cut and blow dry. nice. did the heritage trail in penang too and trying to adjust to being in a mainly muslim country, such a mix of enthnicities and cultures here. not too hard actually as long as u dress appropriately, cover shoulders and wear knee length shorts or skirt. when i travel alone tho after this tour finishes i think ill invest in a headscarf. just make things a bit easier in brunei and borneo. good news is that a bunch of ppl from my group will be in borneo the same time and possibly my tour leader aswell as he has time off. bad news is im thinking of extending my stay and possibly doing something more exciting. theres always money issues and lauras wedding to think of so no definite plans as yet. i really fancy east timor tho!
last couple of days in thailand were fantastic. ended up on this beach called phranang cave, inhabited by monkeys! stunning and practically empty. apart from of course some guys from london! the beach was accesible only by crazy long boat journeys- if u can avoid the jelly fish that is. they got me by the way, i saw a swarm of pink ones in the water and was trying to jump over them when i got stung on the back of my foot. but it wasnt so bad. the girl i was swimming with got covered in stings!! she must have swum into the swarm of them. nightmare. hopefully there'l be less in borneo! ive lots of great pics but internet isnt great here, ill try tomorrow to put some on. watch this space.
love to all. good luck to my big sis with job hunting!!
