Part I Against many online reviews complaining of litter and plastic fish in this part of the Celebes Sea, I chose to go to Bunaken because of a trusted diver's recommendation. I've always found word-of-mouth or recommendations from good bloggers to be genuine and accurate guides even if different people draw diffierent conclusions about a place.

Damn, you have a hard life sometimes Michelle!
Hi Michelle, How's life going? Glad you're continuing to enjoy living in Malaysia! My brothers getting married in KL next year, so I'll be looking forward to checking some of these places out, Brett

Hey Brett!
Good to hear from you. It's coming up to two years since this trip. Obviously, I'm quite behind on my blogs. If you have any questions about KL, feel free to ask. There's a high chance that we probably won't be here next year because we're talking about moving. When are we going to meet up again?! I hope you're getting a good handle on the local dialect because I think we should go to an authentic Chinese restaurant the next time we do meet up. :)

Where are you thinking of moving to, anyway?

Mell,
We're planning on visiting my family in the States, but where we'll "settle" or "move" isn't set in concrete. I'll post once the details are set ( . . . or possibly two years after the fact). :)

Another reason to head to the U.S one day
I'm glad you're describing your time there as a holiday! (What happened to work, I didn't know English teachers in Korea could save that much!). As to next year I know we'll say hello sometime, I'm happy to here though that the relationship is working out well! Keep those travel blogs updated with lots of blogs and good luck with the move, whereever that is :D ! Brett
