updates

Lots and lots of things have happened, so many things, in varying degrees of importance, I don't know where to start!

- You may have heard, Chile had an earth quake. A big one. Luckily, Rodolfo's family is all ok, but it was a bit of a shock to hear about on a tranquil island in the middle of nowhere.

- Visa Hunting: Friday is a Sunday here in Malaysia. Everything closes...including the Thai Embassy. Where we thought a quick swoop in and out would suffice, it turned into a 3 day wait, so we traveled to Terengganu for the weekend to experience Keropok (deep fried fish sausauge) and some Malay Muslim culture - very cool


- We returned to Kota Bharu and successfully picked up our visas in the one hour slot the Embassy was open and booked an overnight bus to the northwest Island of Langkawi where we have just arrived via bus/giant ferry/taxi!! While in Kota Bharu, we may have happened to also purchase a small laptop for skype/tax/life purposes which I am happily typing away on right now!!! YAY! So, life just got much, much easier. $300 US dollars for a mini electronic piece of love. We love Malaysia!!!!

 - Plenty of drama/pics/paradise/love/anger/frustration/sweat/HBO movie day/fried food in between all of that as well, but now there is plenty of time to blog about it.  Off to bed now after a long day/night/day.
