Malaysia......my Malaysia!

Hey dear blogging readers!

I just returned from Malaysia doing what one would call a cultural linguistics program with a national organization from my campus. It was an amazing time and I can't wait to tell you more about it! Between the wonderful people we stayed with through the homestay programs, the children we met while teaching English as a Second Language (ESL), the food we consumed, the people we talked to, the weather, the culture... I would love to tell you all about it!
Unfortunately for time, I can't tell you a lot about it. But I'll wet your imaginations a little and if you respond, then I'll email you more details... :D
-The scariest fruit in the world is prized in Malaysia... I call it hardcore weapons of mass destruction... Malays call it Durian.

-Itineraries aren't necessary in Malaysia...nothing's really 'on time' anyway.

-If you don't care for rice... just walk away now.

-The best type of chicken is a dead one.

-Freedom makes things taste better.

-Pineapples don't come from trees...

-Kelly Clarkson is seemingly quite popular for girls between 12 and 17.

-I met a guy who owns a shirt which sweats for him... sort of.

-I learned Bahasa Malayu (the native language) through subtitles on Japanese Soap Operas.

-I learned how to pray.

-The World Cup is beloved and the only country which does not embrace soccer/football are Americans.

Hope that gives you some ideas of what my month was like! If you have any questions either email me (you know who you are) or comment and I'll most likely blog you back. :)
Jumpa lagi! (see you later)
-Fitz
