We finally got our stove and washing machine working, well at least the stove works. It's nice to be able to cook sometimes when we want to, especially with how rude the people in the restaurant at the hotel are. We also got a new washing machine but Trina just tried to use it and it doesn't work, so it will probably be another couple weeks until that gets working for real this time. As for the shows, they've been OK, not as crowded as last week but still pretty good. The weekend starts tonight so hopefully it will be a nice big crowd for that. We shall see. So from the short month that I've been here I've noticed a few odd things that I would just like to share with everyone. So here's a short little list.....
1. There are stray cats everywhere in our apartment complex and every Sunday there are these two men that go around and gather them all up and wash them. They give them full on baths with soap and everything.
2. On TV here they edit out any kind of romantic scenes. even just kissing but they leave all the swear words in.
3. Also on TV I was watching Masterchef and they were cooking pork, and anytime they said the word pig or pork they edited it out! What the? I mean I know they can't eat pork because they are Muslim, but they can't even hear the word either?
4. For being such a peaceful place I've already seen three fights at the two clubs in the hotel, and those are just the ones I've seen, I'm sure there have been more.
5. There are Malaysians everywhere and they always seem to find me, there are two Malaysian women that come to the club and they are just as crazy as all the ones I met when I was there. Yikes!
6. There are tons of people living here for work but none of them seem to like it here and they aren't very happy. Why not find a job somewhere else then?
I think that's about it for now, I'm sure there are many more things for me to witness so stay tuned!
