So I've been home for less than a week and jet lag is not my friend. I fall asleep around 9pm and woke up around 2am. Not ideal. But it is a perfect time to get caught up on my blogging!
With the ministry schedule being so jammed packed and with being so close to home Malaysia seems like one big blur but there were some things that I was able to experience for the first time:
Never have I ever until Malaysia:
- jumped off a big, scary rock into the ocean before. I lived to tell the tale but my big toe is currently missing a chunk of skin from the rock. Well worth the loss!
- eaten so much Indian food in my life! We lived right next to Little India…IT WAS AWESOME! Spicy Chicken Samosa how I miss you.
- ridden the public bus every day. We'd ride about half an hour to ministry every day and it cost less than 50 cents!
- had White Coffee (Malaysians are obsessed) which is just regular coffee beans roasted in margarine with milk and sugar. I didn't love it but it's coffee so I also didn't hate it.
- ridden a moto (scooter). It was terrifying (very curvy roads) and awesome all at the same time!
- painted a complete stranger's house for them.
- had to be shown the proper way to eat with my hands–eating chicken curry with your hands is mess. Very messy.
- had Indian food for breakfast–it was delicious but really made me ready for diner breakfast back in the US!
- had to file papers that were in: Malay, Chinese and/or Braille. That was kind of an epic fail.
- ate ramen almost every day for dinner. Not even when I was in college did I eat this much!
I know it's not as long as others but as I've mentioned the month is a blur and by month 11 I've experienced a lot of crazy things so it had some work to do!
My next blog will be Never Have I Ever–World Race. It'll be a good one I promise!
