Well, Donna has gone back to Canberra.
In the short time she has been here, I have introduced her to, in no particular order:
Leeches
Glenda's Malaysian driving skills (- or is it lack of them?)
Fireflies on a river in the middle of the night
The joys of shopping in KL (and yes, she came close to rivaling Jenny Fallon's shopping skills in KL)
Birdwatching
Glenda's liking for Bombay Sapphire except when it is accidently mixed with soda
The Malaysian squat
Malaysian Indian food
Malaysian Chinese food
Malaysian Malay food
Malaysian food
Malaysian mangoes
Neighbours washing the dishes outside your window at 4 a.m. during Ramadan
Being blasted out of bed by recitations from Mosque loudspeakers at 5 a.m., just after you went back to sleep after the dish washing
Trishaw rides
Tropical rainforest
Sweating in the tropics
Did I mention Malaysian culinary expertise?
And, oh yes, wild mushroom soup, Malaysian style.
About Me
- Glenda Larke
- Malaysia
- My life has been described by one of my editors as “impossibly exotic” – although really it is not my life, but me, that’s the exotic. I’m the uprooted plant, the exotic who doesn’t belong, always living in someone else’s backyard...
An Australian living in Malaysia. Writer, traveler, environmentalist. Author of The Isles of Glory trilogy (The Aware, Gilfeather, The Tainted); The Mirage Makers trilogy (Heart of the Mirage, The Shadow of Tyr, Song of the Shiver Barrens) and, writing as Glenda Noramly, a stand-alone book Havenstar. The latest trilogy is called The Watergivers in Australia and the Stormlord trilogy elsewhere: THE LAST STORMLORD, STORMLORD RISING, STORMLORD'S EXILE
Havenstar

And you both had a wonderful time, yes?
Good, good, good!
I enjoyed it Glenda, mosque and all. It was all so different and you were there (and the Sapphire Blue).
I'm back home now and busy as a bee until I head off to Varuna for two weeks.
However I do wish the dishwashing was done on the other side of the house. Say Hi to Ramly for me. I hope he sees you aren't too worse for wear.
Yep...we had a wonderful time!
