Anna Goes To Malaysia: February 2008
http://annagoestomalaysia.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Anna Goes To Malaysia. Tuesday, February 26, 2008. Eruptions, Cupid, and the Malaysian Banking System. All is well here in Kuala Terengganu. I have a strange week because all the girls in my school are taking exams this week and so there are zero classes to teach. I still have to come in every day, which I was a little upset about at first, but it's good because I'm able to get a lot done while I'm here in the office. Hayati: "Sorry I was late. I was at the bank.". Hayati: (with a smirk) "Oh! 160;Did ...

Anna Goes To Malaysia: April 2008
http://annagoestomalaysia.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Anna Goes To Malaysia. Sunday, April 13, 2008. Form Five Friends And More. The most fun part about this process has been spending time with four Form 5 girls who are going to compete in the S.I.R. (Spell It Right) contest this weekend. We have met twice at the state library (just down the road from my apartment) to study, and then end up hanging out afterward. Side note: The state library has separate tables for boys and girls, because they aren’t allowed to sit together even to study. Wow.). 2 A couple ...

Anna Goes To Malaysia: June 2008
http://annagoestomalaysia.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Anna Goes To Malaysia. Wednesday, June 18, 2008. Swindles In Malaysia (Part Four). Our first stop was a strawberry farm, where we saw the berries growing in a greenhouse-style way, in elevated rows and such. We sampled some dried berries (not so good, it turns out) and then started out for the BOH tea plantation. After our tea adventure, we stopped by a produce farm where Dad was a huge hit, earning the nickname "Boss" from a Bangladeshi farmer. As in, "Boss, boss, here's carrots." Believe me, th...The d...

Anna Goes To Malaysia: May 2008
http://annagoestomalaysia.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
Anna Goes To Malaysia. Tuesday, May 6, 2008. She announced that she knew a non-medicinal way to help heal "sore eyes," and then began to explain her method. Hayati: "So what you need to do is find a woman who has recently given birth. One who is producing milk. Because, you know, breast milk is full of antibodies. So you lay down on her lap and have her drip a few drops of milk into your eye, and then the antibodies will get in there and and heal your eye. No medicine! Sunday, May 4, 2008. The highlight ...

Anna Goes To Malaysia: Cat City
http://annagoestomalaysia.blogspot.com/2008/07/cat-city.html
Anna Goes To Malaysia. Sunday, July 13, 2008. The word "Kuching" means "cat" in Malay, and so when Ellie, Gwynne, and I boarded a plane to Kuching last Thursday, we were heading for Cat City. We had heard positive things about this place from Zoe, who raved about it after visiting last summer, but we had no idea it would be as wonderful as it turned out to be. By 7:30, our bellies full of yummy international food, we had picked our place on the lawn and were ready to hear a band from Trinidad and Tobago ...

Anna Goes To Malaysia: Generosity Abounds In Lion City
http://annagoestomalaysia.blogspot.com/2008/07/generosity-abounds-in-lion-city.html
Anna Goes To Malaysia. Sunday, July 27, 2008. Generosity Abounds In Lion City. Gwynne and I had a magical whirlwind of a weekend in Singapore (Lion City). The city itself was beautiful, clean (of course), and full of life, but the kind people we met along the way were what really put this trip over the top. We continued our trek to some of the must-see locations in the city: the famous Raffles Hotel, the prickly porcupine-looking Singapore Opera House, and the Quay. Getting hungry, we chose a riversi...

Anna Goes To Malaysia: October 2008
http://annagoestomalaysia.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Anna Goes To Malaysia. Tuesday, October 14, 2008. I know it's been a while since I've written (since July 27th, to be exact), but I thought I should take a moment to document my last few days in Malaysia and also to share final thoughts about my experience. I guess I should conclude, then, by thanking Malaysia. I want to thank them for their kindness, their patience, for sharing their culture with me. I want to thank Malaysia for giving me such an increased awareness, something I feel will only e...

Anna Goes To Malaysia: January 2008
http://annagoestomalaysia.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html
Anna Goes To Malaysia. Thursday, January 31, 2008. On Tuesday Gwynne, Mike, Len, and I moved into our apartments. It was so nice to have a place to finally unpack! Other fun facts about my new home:. 1 There’s a flock of sheep that wander around between our apartment complex and Mydin, grazing on grass and other plants along the way and crossing the street like they own the place even when there’s heavy traffic. I love these new neighbors. 8221; in Malay. He is precious! I worked with Anis to create my ...
