I miss you all so much!

Malaysia
Malaysia
Malaysia was a different port it was very westernized and hot. Our boat couldn’t dock so we had to be tendered into the port which was a pain if you had to be somewhere fast. The people are mostly Hindu and Islam so the women in our group had to wear pants and long sleeves to prevent offending the locals. I felt like I was putting up hay in the summer at home because the humidly and I sweated through all of my clothes. One of the best things that I did was go to the botanical gardens it was free and there were tons of monkeys. I then took a tram up the Penang Hill which was more than a hill it was a mountain. I also went to a tin min which was great I really liked the rocks and the stories from the minors. I was not very impressed by this port, because it was hot, our tender almost hit the ship, to many jelly fish to go swimming, the water had much pollution, and the people weren’t as nice when we were out. I think that it was too Americanized and there so many big building and malls. Well I hope that everyone is doing great at home and I will talk soon.

India
India
I have made it India it is really great here. It is hot, overcrowded, and a little smelly. I have had a blast so far I have gone to a farm visit and I saw water buffalo that they milk for cheese. I then went for an ox cart ride through a village the people work on the farm and I felt like a celebrity because everyone was waving and they all stopped what they were doing to watch us walk through. I also watched a man climb up a coconut tree to get a few coconuts for us to eat and drink the milk. I then ate a wonderful lunch at the farm and then it was time to leave. After the farm I took the bus to the ship and then had to run to catch my next trip which was amazing. I went to the welcome reception at the Engineering School of India. I walk in and there was music and then I had jasmine flowers put around my neck and a dot on my forehead. I then talk to some really smart women about everything. They then took me to tables and put henna on it in a really cool design. I then ate food and it was ok but really spice and the woman were laughing at me because it was really mild to there taste. I then watched a professional dancer dance on stage she had hair to her feet and was very beautiful. She preformed all traditional dances that were for worshiping the gods. I was really amazed when she danced on a plate and could keep her balance. After this my bus was leaving and I went to go back to the ship but before I got there I witnessed the poorest people sleeping in the streets and on the beaches. It was very heart breaking and it was hard to watch. After I got back to the ship I went to bed very tired and looking forward to the rest of my time in India.

Mauritius
Mauritius is great!
I have seen so much on this trip and I'm learning so much. I hope that everyone is great at home and I really can't wait to tell all my great stories. I have had some real adventures and some great times. The US will not be the same when I get back.
I miss you all
