We went to a city in Malaysia, called Melaka about 3 hours south of KL. It is an old Portuguese settlement but also a bustling city. On the way home we stopped in KL to visit Joe Drobnich our friend from Texas, and then made a stop at Kuala Selangor to see synchronous fireflies on the river.
Kanthi, my ahma, had to go back to Indonesia for 1 week because her mother died. This was a big financial problem for her because when Muslims die, their family (and the entire village) needs to pray for them for 40 days. This means that she needed to buy food for the entire village for 40 days, because if she doesn't give them food they won't go pray, and her mother won't go to heaven
