Soon to Seoul

Tomorrow is our last day in lovely Malaysia, then it's back to cold, non-tropical Korea. We've done all kinds of crazy stuff, including impaling ourselves in the face with these sharp metal sticks, and hooks in our backs and chests for the Thaipusam festival yesterday:

But silly us, we forgot to take any pictures!! We were too deep in our religious trances, I guess. So enjoy the pictures of our fellow participants.

They pulled on our back hooks with ropes, in a very similar manner.

We also have done a lot of shopping, of course! Here's what we bought yesterday:

Yep, that's a muffin pan on the left. A typically Malaysian muffin pan. Johan wanted it. I don't know why.

We also hiked in the rainforests, ate some wacky new fruits and heaps of delicious Indian food, took a gazillion pictures, and saw lots of animals, including snakes, which scared the poo out of Johan.
