For all those looking, we found paradise

---

We spent the last week in the Perhentian Islands in the South China Sea off the coast of Malaysia. It was amazing - crystal clear turquoise water, palm trees, powder white sand. I'll summarize how I spent my days there: sit on beach, jump in water, repeat; beach volleyball until dark, jump in water. We also went snorkelling a couple times, we saw a giant sea turtle (I was swimming right next to it), four sharks, lots of jellyfish, colorful fish, and coral. We met loads of really cool people, both locals and other travellors...it was hard to say goodbye to everyone we've met! We had a goodbye party last night with the people we met and learnt a bunch of new drinking games I'll bring back with me (yee-haw! and sorry mom).

Right now we're in a town called Jertih, waiting for our night bus to Singapore. We saw some guy wandering around naked get arrested right in front of us. I can't seem to get into hotmail now, so if you're waiting for an email from me, you'll just have to wait longer.
