Hello from Malaysia! (Finally!)

I should've started this a long while a go, blogging. Well, I have actually and I was too lazy to write so I never open my blog. Anyway, we have been living in Malaysia now for almost 2 years! Time passes by too quickly. I was feeling so worried and anxious to come here because I have never been to Malaysia before and it would be our first country of assignment. But, it all turn out so nicely and amazing! Kuala Lumpur I should say is a very easy and nice city to live in, modern and most likely more developed than most major cities in South East Asia Countries. There are of course some things I dislike and disagree here, but hey, nobody's perfect, right! 

Other than travelling around Malaysia, we have been travelling around South East Asia and even Europe! We've been to Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Singapore, and Indonesia of course! And we got a little break along the way, that was Bangladesh for a wedding/Christmas and Europe for a birthday, 30th birthday! Yes, it's a big one so we decided to celebrate it big. Spain, Portugal, and Andorra it is! It was a very nice little break from South East Asia, everything is so much different from everything else in Asia. 

Anyway, let's get back to Malaysia. We also have managed ourself to discover Malaysia and have done some stuff we tried for the first time ever. Surfing in Cherating, paragliding in Langkawi island, seeing rafflesia flower in Mt. Kinabalu National Park, saw sharks from snorkeling in Perhentian Island, Canopy walk at FRIM, zip lining at the National Botanical Garden Shah Alam, swinging on a giant swing in Penang, etc. Perhentian Island I should say is one of my favourite so far. Friends and family have coming over to stay with us, friends from Canada, England, Indonesia, Japan, Bangladesh, and Australia. We're still counting!

The other nice thing living in KL that within 25-30 minutes you can get out of KL and be in the lush green jungle right away. It's amazing! They have FRIM or the "Forest Research Institut Malaysia" that can be reached by car for only 25 min. It is a man made jungle but it's still nice and they have a canopy walk for an activity there. Also, Hulu Langat is only 30 min away from KL (if not traffic) and you can see the country side of Malaysia, traditional houses, trees, waterfall, and river.

There are still so much I want to see while we're here! Tioman Island, Redang Island, Sipadan Island, Sarawak, etc, etc..and Malaysia's neighbours of course! So, hopefully we can do it all before we leave Malaysia. So stay tune! :)
