Last week Yolanda, the sister of my friend Paul, has been in Malaysia for a short holiday trip. It was her third visit, but there were still enough interesting things to see.
On Saturday 20-10 Paul and I fetched her from the airport.
She looked remarkably fresh after her 12 hour flight.
The next day Aric and I had dinner with them in our favourite seafood restaurant, near to our condo. When I am back in Amsterdam, Yolanda and I have made it a tradition to meet each other in a fashionable restaurant for an extensive (and often expensive!) dinner. This meal was a lot cheaper.
From Monday until Wednesday we made a trip to Taiping, Kuala Kangsar and the Cameron highlands. Here is the detailed report, Yolanda’s visit, October 2012
Just one picture here. In Kuala Kangsar I went for the first time inside the famous Ubudiyah mosque, after a friendly girl gave us robes to cover our “nakedness”.
This is the result. Cute? Hilarious? Judge for yourself.
Paul still looks skeptical as usual, but Yolanda has a serene, almost saintly smile on her face.
I had asked her to bring some “stroopwafels”,as I know that my Malaysian friends love those sweet, typical Dutch delicacies. Oh, and she also brought a “fresh” Epipen from Holland, so I will feel safer now when I go jungle-trekking.
Here are two of my IKEA friends, carefully tasting a stroopwafel to find out if they like it. They did…:-)
It was a nice visit. Writing this, she is already back in Amsterdam.
Jan, dat zijn leuke foto’s!! Goed mijn broer en zus in ontspannen sferen te zien… Nico
Ja, het was een geslaagd bezoek. Nu ben jij weer aan de beurt om naar Maleisie te komen!
