Hey White Girl

That's what the people think here. They don't say it but their open mouthed stares do. One little boy was so fascinated by me he mimicked my every move. Including the excessive amount of peanut butter on toast and packing an extra slice for the road. He didn't know what to do with that one but i did!

I have discovered i despise hostels. 7 people (2 in 1 bed) crammed into a room the size of a bathroom...no thanks! The sleep talker on the next bunk basically shared my pillow! At 3 am i was awake and nearly suffocating from the bad breath and snoring. I'm ready for Malaysia though. I've had about as much sweat pants and jellied goods as i can take.

I haven't been the best with time keeping now I'm on my own. I again almost missed my bus to Melaka. I got there in time thanks to my taxi driver knowing where he was going.

Malaysia boarder is 40min from Singapore city. We had to get off the bus and go through customs then reboard the bus.

  1. Ok white girl. Time to quit the western style breakfasts. Time to skip the peanut butter and bread. Time to walk past Starbucks and try the local cuisine. A couple of breakfast foods you need to try are: Nasi Lemak; Roti Canai; Roti Telur; or Tasai. Go girl. You may only get to try Malasia once you know. Have fun!!!

  2. Hi Taryn,
    I am glad that you are going to give up on Hostels. I just can't imagine going to one ughh!! Better to spend a little more money and get a good sleep. I hope you have better luck in Malaysia.
    How do you like being the White Girl ?
    Love you Lots and can't wait until your next adventure. Gram and Gramps
