A new day, a new beach!

I just can't get enough!!!! Actually, today I reached my fill for the day, which is why I am now in a dark room off the side of the beach talking to you!!!! So what's been happening? Well, I finished up the yoga retreat with 108 wonderful sun salutations, done all whilst baking in the sun, and then spent the day chillin' at the retreat, taking in what was happening all around, soaking up the last of the vibe! Then it was back to Graha and off to the airport...got back to Subang at 2am to sleep, shower and repack and flew off to Langkawi, a chill island in Malaysia. After a quick flight we walked around and bargained ourselves a cute little room for the next three nights and went out to walk the hood in the gloomy Malaysian weather! We found the Babylon bar on the beach and chilled with a cheap drink (the island is duty free!) and some nachos, and then to a cute beach side restaurant for more cheap drinks and a dinner of olives in garlic and bread....so good!
And then woke up this morning to the sun! It was like Christmas morning, back to the beach I went!!!!!!! I got up early and did some yoga on the beach beside the ocean and walked way down the shoreline...then thought I'd jump in and cool off....and a giant wave knocked me flat on my back!!!!!!!!! So I carried myself and my rock/sand filled bathing suit back to the room to clean out the beach, only to find that the shower doesn't so much work!!!! No worries, the tap on the wall works awesomely well to I showered/squatted/bathed....oh, and I forgot to mention TOD, aka, the Toilet of Dreams!!!!!!! This is the lovely blue toilet in our room....you have to turn on the water, wait approximately 2.5 minutes for the tank to fill, but only part way, otherwise the bathroom floods, then you can go, and then you have to reach into the tank and pump the plug vigorously to make it all go down....turn it on and pump it up!!!!!!! Good times!!!!
So now I'm in the darkness of the internet room waiting until 5pm which is when Happy Hour starts at the fancy hotel down the way...they have a swim up bar, which Legs is dying to visit...and although we are not staying there, apparently it will not be a problem for us to just walk in, because, wait for it, we're white....how I missed the racism!!!!!!!!!!
Not sure what comes next, but my time on this side of the world will soon be over....I'm sorta looking forward to the clean air at home, no more brown asian cloud! Send me emails, let me know what's happening in Canada.....off to drink and swim and tan a little more....Peace!
