I AM IN MALAYSIA

2007-04-02T23:57:00.000-07:00

Hello everyone, I am in Malaysia at a internet cafe in Kuala Lumpur, which is a huge city. I got to Penang yesterday and this morning took a very nice (it was called "super nice") bus to Kuala Lumpur. This country is very clean and very nice, kinda looks like any other major US city. Hope everything is good back in the states and everyone is doing good. I got a house with jon, corey, and dan back in DeLand Florida, so i am very excited about that. I am in Kuala Lumpur for two more days then going back to Penang.

Brazil

2007-02-28T05:44:00.000-08:00

Here is a link for my pictures from Brazil, which is a very poor country with huge inequality. 60% of people living in Brazil live on less than $2 a day. Right now I am in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, 2 days out from Cape Town. I have crossed the equator twice. Happy Birthday Mom, is this the big 60 lol.

In Puerto Rico!!

2007-02-08T11:14:00.000-08:00

I am sitting in starbucks writting this blog because of the free internet. Today I did a horseback riding trip, it was a lot of fun my house manco was huge, and he always wanted to be in the front of the pack of 45 horses. Yesterday I spent time in old san juan which is beautiful. I went to the place where Pina Coladas were created, they were very good. I really like the ship alot, its rather large, its only day 5 on my trip and it feel like 3 weeks. The Governor of Puerto Rico came on the ship yesterday and gave us a great speech. I have put some pictures up also of my trips in Puerto Rico. Enjoy.

I am leaving for Nassau in less than 24 hours!!!

2007-02-01T08:46:00.000-08:00

Its the day before I leave for Nassau, Bahamas, and I am not quite finished packing. Its kinda of crazy scenario asking something to pack for 100 days in 10 countries and it all has to fit in 2 bags. So I bagged a vortex football, goldfish snacks, and a bunch of clothes, i hope that will do it haha.

This trip is a once in a lifetime experience and I am gonna take full advantage of that...no doubt
