Random thoughts and pictures

Okay all, have finally got to a computer that allows me to upload pics. So see previous entries for PICTURES!

I don't know if I mentioned this or not. They drive on the left side of the road here in Malaysia, and you wouldn't think it would make a difference if you are not driving. WRONG. Every time I cross the street I look the wrong direction to make sure no cars are coming. 12 days and I still look the wrong way. I am just now beginning to look BOTH ways, so that no more squealing tires come at me.

I really miss toilet paper.

I am really tired of fried rice or noodles and white bread for breakfast. I can't wait to get home to have a nice toasted 12 grain bagel with cream cheeze for breakfast.

Although I am really sorry to be leaving Borneo, I can't even wait to get to Thailand for their food. Oh my god, I love Thai food!

What the fuck was I thinking putting on a wetsuit! I can just imagine what I looked like. Jumbo sausage anyone?

I am having the time of my life. This trip is so far everything I expected it would be, and more.

When I started this trip I swore I wasn't going to go to any western fast food places. However, since I am really tired of noodles and white rice, and considering the hostel where I am staying is literally right over top of a Pizza Hut, I think I might just have to break that rule.

It breaks my heart to see the hundreds of abandoned/homeless dogs and cats on the streets. They are all so sick with disease and malnourished. It kills me, and makes me miss Ty sooooo much. I love ya buddy!

Until Thailand...

The trees and plants and flowers here are amazing. Things I try desperately to grow at home thrive here naturally

YEAH!! We've got pictures!
It was sooooo good to talk to you on the phone just now - and for 1 hr 15 min! Can you imagine we had enough to say for that long. I love the picture of you freaking over the millipede. It is now one of my favorite pictures of you. I can't wait to get the CDs of pictures you are sending home! I will continue to follow you in your travells through thailand! Have a wonderful trip. Love you MOM

Hey there big sis!!!!! The phone here doesn't ring nearly as much as it did with you gone far far away. I was so happy to hear your voice even if it was 7 o'clock in the freakin morning! I'm happy to hear you are happy and enjoying every minute of your long planned trip! I wish I was there to share the memories with you, but we'd probably end up killing eachother by the end of it cause i'm sure I would be barely eating! and you know me when i don't eat! I love you a ton...and remeber those cute boys i warned you about...NO GOOD! Laura
