Malaysia Trip

A and D

Went to Malaysia a few weeks ago with two of my girlfriends... It was amazing!
- We spent two nights in Kuala Lumpur, then flew to Kota Bharu and took a speedboat to the Perhentian Islands.
- We stayed in a little cheap hotel right near the beach. We pretty much spent the week sunbathing, swimming, and eating!
- Our hotel had the BEST banana pancakes and coffee for less than 3 dollars a meal.
- We went snorkeling and saw sea turtles, sharks and tons of fish (Chelsea got stung by a jelly fish)
- We went fishing with a local guide from the island.
- I discovered two awesome foods: Roti Chanai (fried pancake with curry dip) and Nasi Lemak (coconut rice and peanut sauce wrapped in a palm leaf).

... life is good. :-)

Wow! That sounds amazing! You saw sharks?! Hopefully small ones...I know they're misunderstood sometimes and most sharks don't just outright attack, but they still scare me. But the water and boat and everything looks so pretty! I'd love to go snorkling some day. Wow! You got a decent amount of time for spring break! I'm glad you're meeting new people and making lots of friends! Well, you're such a sweet outgoing girl so who wouldn't want to be friends with you? Tehehe! But yeah, I still miss you! Take me with you!!!!!!!!!!

Love,
