Hi Colleen
Thanks for the kind words. I really miss you. I've been easing back into running, but hope to be back to normal by the time I return. If your leg allows, I hope we can continue to run together. How's the new house working for you? Is it any easier to get the kids to school being so close? Are you enjoying your freedon from the PTA?!! Drop us a line. Viv is thrilled to hear about the classroom. Hi to Leo and the kids. Keith (and Jo)

Enjoying the empty office?
Hi Jeremy, Good to hear from you. I hope that you're enjoying the having whole office to yourself, heheh. How's the semester starting off? My students here (all faculty and staff) are great, a bit hesitant at first but they warm up quickly. I teach next a giant bust of Ho Chi Minh in my classroom. Do you want one?!

Hello Office Mate!
Hey Keith and family, Just wanted to drop you a line to tell you that I am enjoying you travel commentary. I know you are probably wondering what took me so long to send a message...but I have finally gotten some balance after the start of the new semester. LOL. Be well

I was so sorry to hear about your dad. It is always harder than we think it is going to be. You can honor someone from afar as well as at the funeral. You can be heard from either place. Take care of yourself and I hope you remember all the fond memories you had- he would like that. Hi to Jo and the children. Please tell Vivian we are sorry that Claire has not written back. She is thought about at school and she will be in heaven when she meets the new teacher! They have a loveseat, two chairs, two lamps, rug, quilt, and candles in the classroom! I have never seen such a cozy place! The teacher makes learning enjoyable- she will be thrilled with her. take care of yourselves, I just love reading the blogs and the photos are wonderful. I looked up that prison online- so powerful - it is hard to believe such atrocities take place. looking forward to the next blog! Colleen

HI Keith, we are so sorry about your Dad. We realy enjoyed his company both when we visited and also when he came to NZ. I believe you did the right thing as your Dad would have wanted. I have finally caught up on all your blog messages, it has taken me about an hour of reading. I must make a point of reading them when they arrive. Please give our love to Jo and the kids. Gee they are growing up. When do you return to the Sates? Hamish and his partner Anna are planning a trip to Vietnam sometime early next year.

Amusement park fun
You are getting old. Ted took the girls to six flags and Rachel had to ride everything, and Ted had to force himself to go on half the rides. I used Lilly as an excuse not to go at all. When did we become our parents? Hope you guys are having a blast, it sure sounds like it. Give everyone a big kiss from us. Jen

Muslims in Malaysia...
Hi Ron, To answer your question...yes. Islam is the official/state religion. There are three main ethnic groups here in the country: the Malays 50% of the population (all of whom are automatically Muslim from birth) , the Chinese roughly 25%(who follow Buddhism and Christianity, but they can also be Hindu or Muslim), and the Indians about 10%(who also follow any of the four, though they mainly Hindu, Sikh, but also Christian, Muslim). There are also other indiginous peoples that make up the rest of the pop; they are counted as Muslim generally, but can be other including animistic....So, in short...a few key ethnic groups, but lots of religions...Islam being the official one. Cheers..KH

Enjoying the travelblog
Nice work! I hope all goes well and that you keep posting. I hope to show my kids these blogs. I don't know if you can respond to questions here, but I was wondering if Islam is the majority religion in the area or just one of a number? That mosque appeared to be fantastic! I'll be anxiously awaiting your next communication. Happy travels!

Cosmopolitan Cuisine
Wow, Keith, what exotic foods you are finding! It's neat to read about all your adventures. Bob and I both drink "kopi ping" every day. And don't worry if you don't like everything. You're doing great considering as a child you only ate boloney and hot dogs. Keep having fun and hi to all the family.

Motoring in Malaysia
Hey everyone; Keith, whats with declining the opportunity to drive a "classic" mini. I can attest to the fact that one can fit five people in it, from my experience as a kid with our 1962 mini. They really are like a go cart to drive. I see that Will has his SCOSAG art camp shirt on in the photo at the grandparents. Our kids are looking forward to this year's camp. Sorry you can't make it. Its almost time for the "do or die" world cup match between the US and Italy. Enjoy your viewing there. I'll e-mail soon.

Hi Keith, our family enjoys your posts so much! What a wonderful experience you are having. Jo's jungle plant would look great in our front yard. The beaches are beautiful, what fun to explore there! Ask Vi if she likes it better than Arkansas? Okay, now, have to go get my Atlas to find out where in the world you are...keep having fun!

I love reading these blogs, Keith. I do think you should learn the martial arts and have Kathy do them after your runs together when you get back. Hello to Jo and the kids.

What a taxi!
It is like being in a big stroller! I think I would enjoy that! All they need is a soft pillow behind their heads. Looks like a fantastic start to a seven month adventure. Really enjoying the journals.
