Malaysia

Have been in Malaysia for almost a week now, enjoying it so far, but already feeling like going back to New York. Suddenly, Malaysia feels very strange to me.

• The bathroom is wet all the time (well, maybe just my house);
• I no longer recognize the roads;
• I can't draw a map from my house to INTI (I used to drive for more than a year everyday);
• I don't miss the food after all.
• I feel so out of place facing the rude bus drivers.
• I no longer think KTM is convenient public transportation;

And in fact, I think New York is a better place.

• It's not easy to get lost in the city with numbered streets and avenues, everything in grid (well, I still get lost);
• I get all sorts of food;
• Subway system is really good, although dirty (I start appreciating it now);
• People are generally nice - yes, even in New York where everyone is supposed to be self-centered

But, there are things I can't find in New York.

• Family
• Friends in Malaysia
• Home cooked food which is always delicious - without having to go through all the troubles cooking
• Very nice shopping malls
