Love the pic.
Great picture of you "just chillin."

Such inspiring writing
Hi Amy, I just wanted to say I have been following your blog for the past few days and really loved your tales from India. Your writing is so evocative of the scenery and the experiences you've had. Thanks

Chicken and Mango?
A local, I've been to Melaka a million times and now only I know of this heavenly Chicken and Mango. Must try! Thanks for the info, lovely photos and all.

Tea garden
We are enjoying your blogs immensley. The Cameron highlands reminded me of our trip to Maui where we went through a beautiful lavender garden. So happy that all of your arrangements are falling into place. Found your service experiences fascinating and so happy you are meeting your brothers literally all over the world. Finding time to write, laying on couch after being kicked by Charlie, flown to Lawnwood and spending a week inTrauma icu. Fortunately most serious injury was jaw broken in 2 places and wired shut. Hope you both are feeling better and adjusting to climate. Be safe. Love, Heather

wow!!!!
Your apartment is jaw droppingly beautiful! I absolutely love it. Glad you guys are finally moved in and settled...it adds a bit of serenity doesn't it?

As a local I always find it refreshing to read of Malaysia from another's perspective. Never realise Food is our national religion (true, now that you mention it!), and a mall here (1Utama) can have 157 restaurants! More so because many of us locals are often, believe it or not, at a loss at where to eat! The photos, especially of the Twin Towers, are all beautifully taken but by way of an excuse to share information that will impact on your stay in Malaysia, allow me to comment on one of the photos: the one with a supposed local.He is almost certainly not a local. His appearance, demeanour and attire seem more like a South Asian Indian/Pakistani/Bangladeshi. Not surprising though because Malaysia is a magnet for foreigners - foreign workers to be exact, the highest number in Asia if not the world. Excluding long-stay visitors (mostly Arabs) and expatriates (all nationalities, mostly western) who by definition are in white collar jobs, the country has 2.5 million documented and estimated 4 million undocumented foreign workers (mostly Indonesians and Bangladeshis) all in manual/menial/blue-collar jobs shunned by the locals. Imagine total 6.5 million foreign workers in a population of 30 million and labour force of 13.5 million. This means foreign workers form nearly 50% of the labour force, in jobs most of us, expatriates and locals, will usually meet and interface with daily. The cashier at mini-market, the security guards at housing area, the waiters at restaurants, the attendants at gas station, the guys who sweep the roads or take out the garbage or deliver the furniture ordered or repair the plumbing, those who broke into your house (so the locals say)...the list goes on. Therefore if anyone in Malaysia stares at you, or takes a photo of you, or requests for a photo together, or can't understand your question and can't answer you even in broken English you can bet he/she is a foreign worker. Welcome to Malaysia - be cool (if that's possible in this climate), take it easy and hope you have an enjoyable time and stay here!

yay!
Your pictures are amazing! Love the place, I think Brent wants to visit now lol. Ecuador locals view anyonr foreign the same way = $$. Robberies are by far the biggest crimes committed around here. We recently had one of our pioneers robbed at knifepoint in front of the kingdom hall a couple weeks ago, and another pioneer was recording a return visit on his phone when a motorcylclist zooms by and swipes it right from his hands!! Anyways, lots of love to you and Jeremy!

happy you made it safe
l love the blogs and hey send me you address when you get one and I'll send up some tp

Well done
Super proud of you guys for throwing yourselves out there. Many blessings will follow!

aiport waiting
Ugh! That's a long time to sit and wait for a rescheduled flight. Nice you had stuff to keep you occupied :-) hope you're enjoying New York.

Have fun!!
Can totally TOTALLY relate to the feelings you had when first going back home. You come back and your first instinct is to jump on a plane, to, well, wherever! So happy for you and Jeremy and soooo looking forward to following you guys (and Hungry!) in your new adventures. --Sarah & Brent

We look forward to the photos and the story lines which go with them.
How wonderful to see you folks in motion again. Somehow I could never bring myself around to deleting your blog address. Sure glad I didn't. We all look forward to following your new adventure. Jeremy, well done with the school business. Amy, you are a wonderful writer and you'll find ways to capitalize on that ability. All the very best wishes for your next phase. cheers, Joe
