Yesterday was a tourist day for sure. I managed to see 3 museums, 2 very old churches and 1 cemetery. Sweet. The independence museum had lots of intersting stuff but I managed to snag a picture of this table. It's pretty important as it had lots of documents signed on it. I gave it a wobble to see how sturdy it was...she's sturdy. Impressive craftsmanship for it to be so used and old and still in such good condition. I also ate authentic Chinese food. Please refer to pictures.
There's a lot of history in this city which is cool if your into it. Malaysia is a really pretty country. The government pays for almost everything here so there isn't a lot of poverty which is really nice to see. Its a mix of Thailands landscape and Singapores people. So there are hills not as big as Thailand but bigger then Singapore and it's less clean then Singapore but cleaner then Thailand. Crazy for where it's located! I'm leaving tomorrow which I'm so excited about. Back to Singapore for 3 nights then INDO!!! I'm so excited to be in a place where animals out number people.
I went to a beach today. Bad thing about traveling alone is no one puts sunscreen on your back :( I felt like Te Vikings were with me on the beach though. Jord, I burnt my back, Mom, I got a wicked sunglasses tan and Jenna I have a racer back tan you would be proud of!
It was a really weird feeling being he only one in the town that was like me but also the only one showing any skin. Poor kids...they've never seen such a white ass before.
Most memorable part of today was on my walk back a delivery truck carrying dragon dancers and their drums passed me and they were wishing me a good day and screaming hi over their loud speaker. Thoughtful and embarrassing all at once! I always seem to make the most unlikely relationships. Tonight I'm going for a beer with one of the old men that runs the hotel. He noticed I don't stay out late and we are now meeting at 11:15!
The key chain is my Malaysia souvenir. It's wood so I have something to knock on when I need it!
Much love




Hi Taryn, I hope you had fun going out last night. Did you see alot of sights? Grampa and I had lunch with Jenna today. She had her ring on that you gave her and it looked really great. She is so happy with it. I hope that you have been able to get your ride out of Malaysia and back to Indo. I like your key chain. Love you lots and waiting to hear from you soon. Lots of Love Gram and Gramp
