I'm Sorry I'm sorry we never caught up again. I am leaving the Little Buddha at 6.30 tomorrow morning. I think that perhaps Patong has debauched me out. Singapore again...then who knows.
I miss your smiling faces and strange Texan ways.

To the Malaysian living in US I hope that the people of the States are as welcoming to you as the Malays were to me. After Kota Bharu I spent 5 days in Langkawi and absolutly loved it. The people were so warm and hospitable! After I leave Phuket I'm going to head to Langkawi to explore teaching jobs...
Malaysian living in US It is me again, Just wanted to let you know your Blog is very interesting and I have fun reading it It is good to see how things are like from your point of view. Enjoy yourself there.
I am Malaysia live in US we used to carry our own toiled papar everywhere we go. You should go to Kuala Lumpur or Penang, you will like to better then Kota Bahru..
We all have our weaknesses But isn't it scary that I'm teaching English and can't spell? And at the newspaper also? Both of my jobs require a pretty strong command of the English language that I am clearly lacking... I must have gotten hired on my sparkeling personality...
New meaning to the squirts My feeling is pack up anything suitable for wiping...tp, paper, receipts, wrappers, etc., and use only when things are desperate. If the hose looks "clean" and not covered in someone elses feces, practice your hose technique. If, on the other hand, the hose looks like it has been around the block a few times...dig into the ration.
Lina, you know I love you, but you're really not a very good speller. I'm glad you didn't get bitten by a monkey, I haven't gone to school for that yet.
Its not a vacation without Monkeys Way to show those silly attack monkeys. Clearly they were terrified at the sight of you and decided to wait for an easier prey. Amazing pictures, I'm quite jealous. Except for the sloshy boat ride of course, that sounds like it was less than fun.
I gave the donut serious consideration... and concluded that I would either have to carry it around in a bio-hazard bag after placing it on the floor here. Or if I deflated it for easy packing I would never be able to blow it up again. I don't want my lips anywhere close to anything that has been in the bathroom, let alone actually on the piss splattered floors... But a disposable one would be ideal.
You need a donut Nick: What happens if you only have one hand? Besides, you're American, do you give a shit about other cultures?
Nan: You need that donut I told you about. Packing your own tissue is more important than embracing other cultures.
That's Why Lefties will rule the world No I would not go native. Just because something is culturally acceptable does not mean it's better. I am left handed. I use it for too many things to wipe my ass with. And if I tried to do it with the right hand, I would be thrown out of Asia for shaking a hand with my left hand instead of the right.
when in rome, don't listen to the romans Use both hands just to be sure you always have the satisfying taste of yesterday's meal on your pallet. Honestly, I'd have a designated "shit shirt" hanging out my back pocket, two good reasons A) No longer have to worry about pick-pockets B)don't have to worry about that whole "sex slave" thing; well only one good reason I guess, you are going to have to wash the shit/piss/blood out of your clothes eventually. Is it too late to change my answer? Good luck, America still has two ply. Miss yall.
grab some leaves i say negative on the going native...i would either pack some tissues, any tissue sort of substance in my pocket and use sparingly...or if i had to i would grab some leaves off the trees and go to town that way.
I am hesitant to use anything that begins with the word community...i barely trust the hygene habits of my friends, let alone total strangers who use a hose to spray their ass.
Yay I would most definately spray down my arse with a hose. My guess is there's a perfect way to squat so you can spray it down and have most of the water end up on the ground and not in your pants. Should be fun getting the hang of that.
Lisa ate Pizza and got really nasty I use my left for wiping and cooking right after. I continue to receive fan mail asking how I created this delicious paella, and I simply giggle knowing the real truth...
I am losing my mind in Kota Baru...someone call the mall bc I am on clearance.
Pizza. Mmmmmm. Actually, we found a Pizza Hut. And I had a calzone with pepperoni. It was fantastic. And I had a belgin waffle for breakfast. Do you think that if I'm in Malysia the waffle would still be belgin?
Tell Shay I say hello and little kitty too.
Hello Schmabbie- I know. Everyday I'm suprized by the things I do. People do strange things in foriegn places. Like buying a leather jacket when you live on the equator. And paying more for it here than you would at home.
Whew! Glad to hear ya'll are safe. Now you can tell people you've been witness to a coup! Good times. I bet those fried anchovies would be great on a nice steaming slice of Roppollo's pepperoni pizza with jalepenos.
Quitting the corporate life of cubicles and coffee and swapping it for the beach life of sun and, well, coffee. Horray Thailand! From Teacher to Travler- these are my adventures...... full info
