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.
