a sunny day in sibu

Sorry for the delay in posting. It has been harder to post while in Sibu. Most days we have been getting up by 8AM, having breakfast and then heading into to town to do some shopping. Everything is super cheap here so we have been buying lots of things. It has been uncharacteristically mild in temperature due to the rain, but I’m not complaining. On Wednesday, it was really sunny and pretty hot. Here are some highlights from the past few days.

Monday: We went to the open market where they sell fruits and vegetables amongst other things. I won’t post a picture, but we did stop by the pork shop where various cuts of meat where hanging……….and I remind you that they do not waste much of the pig. We also saw the river, which is very dirty from logging.

Tuesday: Spent the morning at home and went to the bank after lunch. Afterwards, we went to the newer mall and I bought some new towels and some gifts. For dinner, we went to Sushi Tie with my aunt, cousin and his fiancée.

Wednesday: We had dim sum for breakfast………YUMMY!!! And then we had to have some papers notarized, and of course some shopping in between. There was this really cute store near the restaurant and we came back just to look there. I wanted to try on this shirt that was in the window. The lady took the shirt off the mannequin and everything and then told me I couldn’t try it on because she thought I would stretch it out!!!! So of course I wasn’t going to buy anything from her now. She imported Hollister…….should have known better. I was like “LEMME TRY-ON THAT TOP………YOU’RE NOT EVEN WEARING IT!” We stayed home in the evening to help with some yard work and to pack for Miri, where we will be staying with another uncle (number 6 of 8 children, my Dad is the youngest) until Sunday.

Hope all is well in the States!!!! Much love to everyone!!!
