Lessons Learned

If you don't laugh at life you'll end up crying right. Thank god that's tattooed on my body otherwise I'd be balling!

Lessons Learned...what ive learned today!
1. Ask questions even if you look like a moron. Learned how? I think i got off at the wrong stop today thus leaving me to paying $200 to drive from where ever the hell i was to Melaka.
2. Don't book the cheapest places cause no one actually knows where they are. It only took 40min but we found it!
3. Check to see how big holidays effect the area you're traveling to. F-ing chinese new year has shut the city down and basically everything else with it.
4. Don't take wifi for granted. Its pure rent a computer down here! Hence why this blog may not reach you for a while. I bought an hr for $1 and I've yet to see a page load!

Happy Chinese Dragon Year!
The man running my guest house reminds me of my own Mr. Meogie. Hes quite cute. Fire works started at 8 and carried on till 12. I walked down. China town and it was so busy and smelled pretty bad so i didnt last long. I made it till 11:30 and realized the fireworks show happened at the other end of the street so i peaced out. Being offered shredded, dried cuttle fish re-hydrated just didnt sit right with me so i made the hike back home. When i got back Mr. Meogie gave me an orange for good luck in the new year. That explains why there were so many oranges for sale! Its now 9:30am and the fireworks continue! My goodness they are crazy here!

No where was serving food because the towns basically shut down so i enjoyed a beer and a pack of oreos and when i got that orange i considered eating the peel.

Im now lazily laying in bed with ariel not wanting to walk cause of my blister. But i must find a pharmacist today. If they aren't chinese i have a chance otherwise the town is off for 3 days. Good thing i have a good book!
