3 weeks! (I'm alive. I promise.)
4:16 PMIt is crazy that I have been here for 2 weks already! It feels like it's been forever yet no time at all.
Sorry for not posting as often as I would like to, I have no internet at my host family's house. It kind of sucks, but at the same time it keeps me from being constantly talking to people back home.
I don't even know what to write about! The computer I'm using has no memory card slot so I can't even spam you all with pictures! Instead I will just list some things that I have done/ I have found interesting
Life in Malaysia:
- people at school touch my face and call me pretty and a Barbie
- my school is Hogwarts: there are prefects, a headmaster, and ties
- saris are so beautiful
- Hindu temples are strangely like baptist churches, clapping and all
- fish spas, where fish eat your dead skin, are awesome
- not hugging cats or human is strange
- you never really get used to the staring
- Bugs that are mouse sized are normal
- Grocery markets are akin to shopping malls
- Lah, boleh, aioooo are part of people's daily speech
- There is an entire aisle at the supermarket devoted to Chile peppers
- Malaysians favorite activities include sleep, tv , and eating
Im writing this in a giant grocery store that has free WiFi. Free WiFi is enough to cause me to squeal and jump and down a little bit. Some lady just snapped a photo of me, that happens a lot too. Life here is so different in every way possible. Im adapting, slowly but surely. Leaving the store now, so I have to wrap this up with a promise to write more later and a big hug to everyone back home!
