Wow, I can't believe it's already November! Well OK some points of the month went by kind of slow, but other times the month flew by. This past weekend was great, Friday was packed, Saturday was packed, and the shows were great. Our speakers blew out during the last set on Saturday so we had to finish with only our speakers on the stage that face towards us. But other than that it was a good time. Then Sunday I went and saw the movie Buried, it was great, a nice Halloweenish movie. And then I shopped a little. All in all it was a nice couple days.
So I thought in celebration of my one monthiversary of being here I would make a list of all the things I've learned so far.
1. Malaysia is awesome
2. Mosquito's here aren't as scary as they make them seem back home
3. The toilets here are weird
4. Diet coke is hard to find here
5. Diet Mtn. Dew is still no where to be found
6. The food is great at the hotel
7. Everything is pretty cheap
8. All the malls are GIGANTIC
9. Movies take forever to be released here
10. People think if you don't drink you aren't fun(kinda already knew that)
11. Women here think you are shy if you don't hit on them
12. There are certain cars on the trains that only women are allowed in
13. You can't take pictures everywhere you want
14. It's not scary to explore on your own, as long as you're smart
15. There is a CPK and Chilis here
16. The clothes here are awesome
17. Clothing sizes are much different here, I wear an XXL now
18. There are people from everywhere that live here
19. TV stations in the hotel suck
20. I miss Food Network like you wouldn't believe
21. If I leave my air conditioner on too high when I go to sleep I wake up with a sore throat
22. The maids can be very pesky at 8 am, when you go to bed at 4 am
23. It's weird relying on the computer for most of my socializing
24. At the same time I'm very thankful for skype
25. Sometimes it's nicer to do things for yourself, like laying a napkin on your own lap
26. I miss American accents
27. I'm always way over prepared, that's just who I am
28. I don't miss the snow one bit
29. It's weirdly nice to not be attached to my cell phone
30. People being allowed to smoke everywhere is crazy
31. I miss my pillows
32. If I never opened the curtains in my room I could literally sleep the whole day
33. Movie theaters only sell caramel corn, not just regular butter popcorn
34. Wiring money is way easier than I had anticipated
35. I miss driving
36. My legs get tired from all the walking I have to do to get anywhere
37. There are lizards by the pool at the hotel, how did they get to the 8Th floor? Still pondering.
38. Fashion is so far forward here, but so many other things are behind
39. I use all the matches every time they give me a new pack in my room, they're fun to play with
40. I miss everyone!!!!
Alright I think that's about it for now. I'm sure I'll think of more things as soon as I finish typing this, but that's a pretty big list. I hope everyone had a great Halloween!
I couldn't live there. No Mt. Dew. No way. Guess I will never be able to move there. Sounds like you have a lot of widom and knowledge about the place. Can't wait to see what this month brings.
