Mersing Me

Time to get out of the big city. We'll be heading to the East coast to the city of Mersing for some Island exploration in the morning.

I forced Nathan into purchasing a hunk of the best durian money can buy..just to test the theory that some durian is better than other durian. False. We are now both suffering with a terrible case of durian burps.
I would like very much to never eat it again.

In other news, I met a lovely man from Iran who introduced himself (after learning that I was American) "I am from Iran. I am not a terrorist. "
To which I responded "whew. I'm not a terrorist either. Now that we've covered the basics..what's your name? "
We both had a good chuckle, then went on our merry ways.

I have also determined with a little investigative dietary restriction that my head swelling might be caused by my gluten intolerance. I have to make a very tough decision. Which am I more intolerant of...a giant face or donuts? Malaysia makes a fine donut. Apparently Malaysia also knows it's custards. Based on how enthusiastic and painfully detail oriented Nathan's description of last nights dessert was, I'd say Malasia dominates the custard market.
I truly hope I have more than desserts to blog about very shortly. Snorkeling on picturesque islands is in the works..then on to Singapore.
