just a snapshot of what i was up to today

Today I met some neighbors and they really liked me. You know why? Because I was polite and I spoke in their language. Well, I started in English. I saw that another kid had a snack I came up to him, held out my hand, and said "peeze." Then when he handed me the snack I said "tank you." Then when I ate the snack I said "enak!" which means delicious. They thought it was funny. I think I'm pretty good at making friends here.

My First Family Vacation: Kuala Lumpur

Normal toddler activities:
I saw a shark! (video)
I petted a baby duck!
I said "hi" to everyone that was around me and blew them a kiss. (I got lots of smiles!)

Funny TCK (Third Culture Kid) vacation moments:
I ran around and played on carpet instead of tile floors.
I went to my first park and playground.
I flew on 2 airplanes and rode on a subway and numerous taxis.
I ate spicy Indian food.
I took a bath in a real bath tub instead of a plastic baby bath.
I met black and brown and yellow and white friends.
I spoke in two languages.
I went to my 5th country.
