I have been living in Malaysia for 8 years now and I have enjoyed every moment of it. Truth be told, there have been some worrying and difficult moments, but as I mentioned in a previous post, I am "living the dream" here in Kuantan, Malaysia.
I have a friend from England who lives in Johor Bharu (JB) and he too keeps a blog. I'd like you to meet him today.
His name is John and in a recent posting, he pretty much explained to a tee how we both feel about Malaysia and why we Englishmen indeed love Malaysia so much!
I couldn't have explained it better myself, so please hop over to John's blog right here to find out what I mean.
Malaysia Boleh!
Wow, eight years already! We hope you will continue to love living your dream here in Malaysia, Duncan. And you are always welcome.
ReplyDeleteOrdinary malaysian, thank you so much for your warm greetings!
ReplyDeleteOff to visit your friends blog,it is so lovely you are living your dream with your wife and family. We were never brave enough to do it at your age. :)
ReplyDeleteWell it is a daring and difficult adventure. Hope you enjoyed my friend's blog post on the subject.
DeleteVery interesting blog of his friend with good information in Malaysia. Greetings.
ReplyDeleteThanks Leovi, he does provide lots of useful information.
DeleteThanks for introducing your friend and his blog! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm always happy visiting your blog and your interesting posts!

Thanks so much Leia, I must admit I love your Wednesday Doorway too!
DeleteDuncan, my son Elliot is learning about the Rainforests of Indonesia as a result of watching a popular cartoon show here in the US. There are two brothers who teach children about animals around the world and their habitats and they have inspired him to study this region and the wildlife. The more he learns, the more he wants to visit the rainforest in person. I'm going to enjoy showing him the pictures from your blog and telling him the story of how you came to live in Malaysia. It's exciting to think of your journey, your leap of faith and how everything is turning out so beautifully. I look forward to visiting your friend's blog today too. Take care~
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking such an interest in my life's joirney from England to Malaysia. It'd be great if one day Elliot could come to this corner of the world! Have you told him about the headhunters who once took the heads of their victims in the jungles of Borneo?!
DeleteI love your Malaysia night shots. I will have to comeback to your friends page on Friday. I have homework to get to but I wanted to stop by real quick.
ReplyDeleteWell thanks for the visit Randy!
DeleteIt's awesome to be able to say you're living the dream :)
ReplyDeleteYeah it is. Thanks for your visit Lynda!
DeleteYou both do a great job of tempting us all to move in with you but I can't see me leaving Leicester where, as you probably know, we too have harmony with all the many cultural groups who live here. Bet you miss it really!!
ReplyDeleteHaha yes, my mum tells me I'd fit right back in to Leicester if I were to move back!
ReplyDeletevisited john's blog today as I do have the time to blog hop a bit. Both of you truly share interesting posts. Keep it up. It's good to read about my country from another person's perspective. Being born and bred in the country for so long, tendency to take things for granted is there and honestly, I do miss out on all the areas you mentioned. Come to show, my country is much less travelled by ME.
ReplyDeleteHi Lili, I agree it's easier to explore and appreciate a place when you're not originally from there!
DeleteThanks for your visit.
Very interesting blog! I so enjoy learning about new places in the world and you paint a wonderful picture of Malaysia! Never been but I will put it on my list!
ReplyDeleteYes you should definitely put it on your list of places to visit! Thanks for dropping by my blog.
DeleteNo doubt your beautiful photos are a good claim to Malaysia. Greetings.
ReplyDeleteThanks Leovi, you should come visit some time!
Deleteno wonder why you love this place-only after looking at the first shot-I was already impressed!
ReplyDeleteNice to see you on my blog also

Thanks Ola! Malaysia is a beautiful and great place to live!
DeleteI hopped over to John's blog, very interesting...
ReplyDeleteLove your pictures of Singapore at night.
Thanks Maria - I love Singapore! Glad you managed to visit John's blog too.
DeleteDuncan ! if ever I come to Kuantan, I sure like to hear more stories from you on a cup of teh tarik or Kopi-O !
ReplyDeleteHi Wong. I don't drink tea or coffee but it sure would be great to meet you and have a chat!
