Our Wonderful Trip in Malaysia

Our visit to Malaysia, or as we call it now MALL-aysia due to its large number and size of malls that we visited during our stay, was a wonderful trip.


We got to visit new friends, and make many more on our short trip. The people and the conversation was absolutly wonderful.

We had wonderful tour guides in Sivin Kit and Kia Ming.



Our last full day in Malaysia Sivin took us down to Melaka where we could see a lot of the history of Malaysia. The museum and old church was very cool. Some of the tombstones unearthed in the old church were amazing.

We ended the evening with a wonderful Indian dinner made up of different breads and things to dip them in. The food was great, and it was very nice to have everyone not sick and able to enjoy some new foods. And I love the tea here. Its like the espresso of tea, it makes me wired. Its great.

We are now heading back to Phuket to our base of operations. We will be spending the next week plus between northern Phuket and Pang Nga province and the Phi Phi Islands helping out where we can.

The trip has been amazing and I really hope we make it back to Malaysia in the future to see friends and more of the great country

Again, Thank you Sivin and Kia Ming and everyone who made the trip so fabulous. It was so wonderful to meet and talk and listen to all the great conversations that were going on.
