We have arrived in Kuching safely. We spent about 8 hours in Kuala Lumpur, and Allya's friends took us around Petra Jaya - which is the Malaysian equivalant to Washington DC. I really can't describe in words how beautiful it was. I was amazed at the structures, and the beauty. As for safety, I feel safer here than I have in anywhere in Europe or anywhere else for that matter. Maybe because the government controls so much, that people know not to do anything stupid, but it does feel safer. Here in Kuching, from what I saw at 1am with the drive in, reminds me more of a third world country, but I will comment more when the light comes. Overall, it is really amazing, the hospitality, the people, the overall feel here. It is what I was looking for - a place that is a different culture than what is the norm for the western civilization. The best part is, I am living as a local does. Granted, not quite a commoner, but still - as a local. Pearl is strangely okay with almost everyone here. I attribute it to the fact that she is so close with Allya, and with everyone else being MAlaysian, as is Allya, she immediately associates everyone with mom. But, she doesn't like cats like she does dogs... The cat already scratched her... And people wonder why I don't like cats.
Anyway, off to bed - It's 2am on Monday here - I think...
With love,
The Kahn Family

Welcome to MAlaysia. Pearl definitely mostly associates women with mom, I noticed. When other guys [like my uncles, guy friends] try to pick her up, she'll start crying.
ReplyDeleteHahaha!! Awwwww. Hey, applecat is just a temperamental kitty... Cut her some slack, please? :'P
I'm really sorry that lil Pearls got scratched by her, though. Just for the record- applecat scratches everyone in the house. It is the sad truth. :'/ She's just one of those kitties who isn't friendly. There are however, very friendly and needy cats. It's just that applecat happens to fall from that category, unfortunately.
