Travel News

How far did I travel this week?:

I traveled from Minneapolis, Minnesota to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. A total of 24 hours in a plane (one flight was 17 hours!) and almost 9,000 miles. 

How far have I traveled on this journey so far?:

I have traveled 9,000 miles and I'm delighted to report that Kuala Lumpur is starting to feel like home!

How did I get around this week?:

I walked, took the (very clean and fast) subway and we used "Grab." Grab is Malaysia's version of Uber. 

What was the most interesting place I visited this week?:

In Kuala Lumpur, the Petronas Twin Towers are the most famous buildings in the city's skyline. I've attached photos of the towers with me (selfie!) and the fountain/color show that happens most nights in front of the towers. These buildings have shops, offices and apartments. 

Other Travel News from this week:

I found out where I will be placed to teach for the rest of the year: Malacca! It is a state southwest of Kuala Lumpur, and it boasts a rich cultural history as well as being on the water between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore.
