Malaysian Vacation

Super cool that my teammate's parents allowed us to use their timeshare. We spent a week on the east coast of Malaysia. Never in my life have I done so much of nothing!




There were some interesting happenings:

First we were a little weary to find out that it was typhoon season - which it turned out to only rain three times while we where there. The water wasn't as calm as normal but that was fine because we spent most of our time at the pool.
Secondly, our first few days there the resort was full of Muslims - women in full cover sitting in but mostly around the pool. This made us not want to put on our bathing suits! Lucky for us that we were the only ones who wanted to be out at the pool from 12 to 3 pm - prime sun hours. (On this side of the world many people use whitening creams to get lighter skin and there we were soaking in the rays)

Thirdly, by Wednesday the conservative guests had been replaced by Chinese Malaysian men in Speedos!


We had a great time of relaxation! A little reading, a lot of praying, listening to music, swimming, walking the beach and catching some rays. Praise the Lord for down time!
