Funny that you should mention the "seafood" addition in our "beef". If you were saying that based on the photograph...the white chunks (that could possibly pass as cheese in a photo) were actually tofu! haha We were trying to bulk up the pasta sauce and tofu was a super inexpensive option! So if there was seafood (really of any sort) we would consider ourselves lucky and that we got more bang for our buck! haha

today we were at an outdoor shop and saw this "pace emergency bag". You don't happen to do some modeling on the side, do you?!

hopefully the quality of the photo is good enough, but let me know if you'd like the original file (in case we've found your doppler gang in Brunei or if someone is using this photo of you without your consent!)

shayna:
looked into your LP idea - apparently they will post at the end of september if they are looking for traveler/scouts/bloggers (as a little extra money never hurt!)!

meghan H:
you should come out and visit! I would definitely say learning the art of traveling in asia is a work in progress. We're still a little shy about haggling (and have probably been ripped off more times than we actually know) and have learned the hard way that mmmaaaybeee we should have packed a little lighter (esp when our backs are completely drenched in sweat from carrying the packs to the bus stop/hostel etc). Let me know how you're doing and tell Jason and your parents I said hi!

karen lee and ashley c and shank:
luckily i have a few days to recover from the sunburn. maybe i'll wear a t-shirt over the bridesmaid dress haha.
karen how's work?? you need to start planning for april! and we are probably going to be home for christmas but I'll should have a better idea by the end of the month.
ashley c i need to respond to the email but of the shorter one-liner you sent - yes, i understand.
shank - sorry not sure who you are but hopefully a spray tan won't be necessary! but if it comes to that, fingers crossed i won't turn into a giant oompa loompa.

we've been spending the last week with locals (in both Kuala Lumpur and Brunei) so you've preempted our next few posts with your questions! Once we have a free second we will try to write about the incredible people we've met and the amazing experiences we're having! Sneak peak: Hari Raya Aidilfitri Celebrations - I waited in this line for 4 hours to shake hands with the Sultan of Brunei's wife (according to wikipedia she is sometimes known as the "sultana") and the women of the royal family.


Durian is called the "king of fruits". It's difficult to explain but it has a very distinct smell and a creamy-like texture. And I think it's an acquired taste (one that I'm still lacking) This is the wikipedia link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Durian . Ari thinks you would really like it too! So we will definitely have to find some in Thailand!

JOSHIIIEEEEE:
...this could be you in april. FTWhim!
more photos to come of Ari gorging on Nasi Lemak (which we found out literally means "fatty rice" - no wonder it tastes so good haha)

oriana:
we've definitely found you don't really need a plan! so stop planning and get visiting!
ari adds: "You failed the class. It's Melaka not Melanka"
