Since many have asked, I have decided to start a blog to keep everyone posted on my travels. It very well may serve as an electronic, online journal to help me keep track of the adventures and opportunities that await on the other side of the world, but also serve its duality in letting the people in the United States know what I am up to. This is the first time I have attempted to maintain a blog, and time will tell how well I will accomplish that task. So it is my hopes that it will satisfactorily please the diverse audience that will read this blog. To all the people who would like to contact me on a more personal level, I am sure you have my email and such.
     I am counting down the days until departure... All that remains between me and Malaysia are nine days, a crazy mess of suitcases and belongings, and a very large Pacific Ocean. Keep in touch, everyone!

P.S. All times and dates will be posted on Malaysian time. This current post is of July 31.
