A Squishy Duck

Saturday was a bunch of odds and ends as we each made one request for the day, and then our goal was to make everyone's request. First, mom wanted to visit Chinatown, which we had tried to visit yesterday, and failed.

But not today!



Homemade coconut cake. Ugh, so good.

We haggled, we ate coconut cake, we bought nail polish remover.

Our second request was a return to central market for more batik. Let's go!

We found some cool stuff on the way

New shades, same crew



We were able to satisfy our batikking needs (batikking, I don't think that's a word)

And since we were here anyways, dad's request was to have some more ice cream ribbon.

Chocolate edition

For lunch we found the beef noodle house Ruth recommended we visit yesterday for lunch, but since we didn't seem to find a lot of things yesterday, we found it today instead.

I'd rate this as the second or third best dish I had here. It was so tasty and brothy. Mmm.



Mom vs. the never-ending noodles

Our third request by me and Amanda was to stop by the park by the Petronas towers.

 
So here we are.
 
...so cute



I'm a bug

My one and only request was to return to Domesky so that I could get my squishy duck.

The only thing I'd been talking about for days

Look at him adjusting to his new home.

And that wrapped up our last day in Kuala Lumpur, and Malaysia. Saturday was a little anti-climatic after the jammed pack week we had, but it was nice to tie up the little odds and ends we wanted to do and see. All in all, it was an amazing adventure, and yes I would go back in a heartbeat. Totally worth the two days of traveling it takes to get there.

Thank you everyone for reading. I know I'm kind of back-filling my last couple of trips, but stay tuned. More is coming! (Like Belize, in July)

Rock on y'all

Melaka Food Tour

Image
Today was a tasty day. We toured Melaka (Melakka, Malacca), a Portuguese settlement established in the 1600's, and did so via food, which I think is the best way to take a tour. So let's begin! Ruth, a cousin, took it upon herself to be our tour guide around Malacca. The day was sunny and warm, and we saw (and ate) all the sites to behold. For breakfast we had sticky rice with caramelized watermelon and pork. It was alright, but compared to some of the other food we tried throughout the day, it didn't really stand out. And now it was time to start the tour! It was self guided, and very low-key. Basically there was a Portuguese settlement built a long time ago, and was taken over multiple times by the Dutch and the British, and these are the remains that stand. The fort Ruth is wearing red. The "sites" primarily included the remains of a fort built by the Dutch, and St. Pauls church. The church My new ...

A Day in Pecs

Image
Yesterday I spent the day in Pecs, Hungary with Charlotte. It was nice, relaxing day, though the weather could have been a little better. Let's see, to start we visited a cute park: Then we visited a building that used to be a post office, but the highlight of the building is the beautiful roof, recommended for us to see by Charlotte's mother. Then we walked down the Citrom, or "Lemon" Street Another pretty roof :) The square of the synagogue Pecs has a famous porcelain exhibit and is known for the awesomely cool looking green porcelain In the main square there was  huge horse statue! It was a part of some exhibit or another, but we thought it was just interesting to have a massive horse statue sitting off center in the main square. After lunch, we visited the porcelain museum: Next we visited a basilica, The Decepticons are here. They know our secrets. Statue of famou...

Although my six weeks as a volunteer is over, the fun isn't. My family is visiting for another week, which means the adventures can continue! To kick it off, Connor and mom expedited themselves out to Caye Caulker to get jump start on our diving. They had already been in Belize city for a few days prior, along with my aunt, uncle and dad. Reunion! Look how tan I am I had booked a hostel room for the night, since I had packed up and left base camp, and while I could sleep in it comfortably, with the three of us, it was cozy. Its not a shed, its my room But it did the job. I showed them around a small part of the island to find food before heading off to bed. The next morning I introduced them to fry-jacks, aka best food ever invented on earth. If you're hip to mennonite cuisine, it was like a kroler, but savory, and filled with cheese and eggs and chicken. And oh my gosh yum. Plus they only cost 2$, so I couldn't say no. Safe to say I had consumed my all...
