Back in Kuches after arriving last night from Kuala Lumpur. Just getting back into the swing of things and trying to organize my subjects for the semester. Still not totally sure if I’ll be able to finish the year over here but I’m starting to get my head around the idea anyways. Really enjoy the trip to KL with visiting all the major touristy areas like the Golden Triangle area where the twin towers are situated. Disappointing how you’re only able to visit the sky bridge which it is only one third the way up. The area is amazing with the interior of the building really nice and an awesome Asian food court inside ( always thinking about food). Berjaya Times Square which is pretty much a massive shopping center. With stuff being soo cheap I went crazy buying stuff with the girls help. Also the fact that I went to KL with no clothes to intentionally buy something, made it a must. Went on a fair Eye on Malaysia which is a ferris wheel overlooking the city. Afterwards spending 2 hours getting denied by taxi’s. Sunway city , apparently I’ve been told one person owns the entire district. It’s around 30 mins drive out of the city where there are shops , restaurants , hotels and an adventure park which we went to. Huge Water Park which was totally man-made, with a beach area.
3 days later …I started typing this blog but wanted to finish it at a later date. Moving right along,, today I caught up with my Iranian friends. The boys when back to Iran over the uni break and ended up returning with all their luggage full of food. I now have in my possession a few can’s of Iranian pistachio nuts and ended up spending the evening there home having shashi. ( For gezza – its just a massive bong ,, put the favored tobacco on the top with hot cols. Then you inhale thru a pipe connected to the water chamber. As you suck ,, the tobacco is heated by the coal .. ahh I check this out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shisha)
Also looking for a place to stay outside of uni. I ended up following a lead from Eddie’s parents to rent a house. It belongs to a guy who is a missionary who won’t be back for a while. The place isn’t close to uni but Eddie’s dad mention that I could rent one of their cars cheaply. (awesome) I’m trying to get things rolling , but with uni already started, its hard to find people willing to move out. Also being far away it’s a little bit of un known territory which amazingly people are worried about.. The next best things ,, is moving to the off campus accommodation. I just mentioned to somebody today that I was interested moving out and then knew of people needed a roommate in an apartment ( bunch of Srilankans) . So tomorrow I’ll check that out ,, ,, so yeah go a few things on the go .. That’s about it
