Yesterday evening we moved Sophie into my room. The apartment is going to be rather cosy for a couple of months as Soph and I will be sharing the master bedroom, and Sepideh will be in the 2nd bedroom. Means our rent is less than 200 pounds each a month though, and I've always got time for a bit of goodnight spooning! We're going to have international cooking come dine with me too, and introduce Sepideh to raost dinners, beans on toast, and marmite (that'll be my meal!).
Alicia arrived back to The Hilton at 6am this morning, after going to The Perhentian Islands for a couple of days to get her PADI. We're off to Batu Caves to walk up a million steps and see a giant gold buddah.
She had a pretty crazy journey there.... First off was an absolute nightmare getting her on the nightbus. After about 5 drivers telling us the Jerteh 21:05 was 'next bus miss, next bus', we found out it had been and gone. Most people were pretty rude and un-helpful, but one guy was lovely and got her onto another bus which would take her to meet her bus in 5 minutes - supposedly! About 4 hours later the bus pulls into a cafe and the driver threw Liss off!! Luckily Liss got chatting to a nice Malay man who was getting onto her next bus to Jerteh. After being hounded by a load of Malay men who'd never seen a white girl before at the end stop, the nice guy took her to his house for breakfast with the whole Malay fam, and then drove her to the ferry jetty.
