End of the school year I went to Malaysia with my friend Melissa whom I hadn't seen in 5 years. I ate lots of crazy delicious stuff, saw my first tornado(well water spout really, but it was still amazing), did my first canopy walk over the top of a jungle, visited my first sacred Hindu site, and saw the worlds largest twin towers.

I helped my friends try to finish their addition. Including running electrical wiring, CAT6, Installed vinyl siding, plumbing, knocked out a wall and installed a Parallam support beam, insulation, and installed a high velocity AC system. Unfortunately no pictures.
Camped and boated at Lake George in the Adirondacks. We also climbed Rogers Rock, well we went the easy way up.

Last but not least I moved to Buffalo. Which I'm finding to be a pretty cool city so far!
I am so jealous of your food expedition. I love sea food and asian sea food especially.
We rode a bus once that people were eating Durian on. It was not pleasant. I like to take food adventures, but I wasn't willng to try that stinky stuff.
Interesting. Didn't know Malaysians worshipped Lord Muruga (he is the "good" elder son of Lord Shiva, the younger one is the elephant god - Lord Ganesha/Vinayaka) and ate on banana leaves.
I miss eating on banana leaves so much. :(
Damn (e:jason) asked before I got the chance to.
Anyway, what a great trip you guys took! That is what I call traveling.
that must have been such an amazing trip!
I read that they genetically engendered the horrid stink out of Durain but old folks were upset because the stench is such a part of the experience.
you lead an exciting life!
I actually ate a couple of them. It's a lot like eating a sweet onion custard while sitting in the Port Authority bathroom. I saw many signs indicating Durian was not allowed there.
Oh my God. Tell me you actually ate some Durian.
