Samir's article. Don't get me started with all that legal visa stuff, but let's just say we somehow wound up in Malaysia. We first took a roach-infested ferry to an island called Penang, and watched Spider-man 3 on the boat ride (what do you mean it just came out in theaters!?) We stayed at a hotel near Chinatown, so if you walked past shops you could see roasted ducks with their heads still on. After spending 3 or 4 days eating and sleeping, we finally decided not to treat Malaysia like a pit stop before India (which we will also treat like a pit stop before Turkey) and went to see a movie and go bowling. After we went bowling, I accidently fell up to my knees in mud chasing some monitor lizards. After Penang, we took a roachless ferry here, and we're currentley staying at a hotel on the beach. We've swam a lot, and tried another beach, but it had washed up sea cucumbers. However, our beach sometimes leaves an eel, puffer fish or squid behind when the tide goes out, which turns you off easily. Yesterday we tried out parasailing, after seeing lots of other people do

That mud is what I fell into. But hey, it cured my eczema!
it. It was like you were on a swing in the air, and it was fun but too short for $101 altogether. After that Dad rented an electric scooter for a while, and I drove it on the road and the beach (alone!). Today we went on a day trip to a water park reserve, but it was real turn down. All this garbage was floating around and people threw in globs of soggy bread for the fish (which is why there are any fish at all). On the bright side, the fish swarmed around you and came right up to you. I'm not going to put in any other details, as I'm sure Mom can. More later, Samir.
