Well, the three weeks we spent in Asia were tough but such a blessing. We landed first in Malaysia. To say the culture in Asia was different from ours would be an understatement. The people were, well, different. As a whole, they operated on their own time. Schedules or prior arrangements were pretty irrelevant. (This type A person REALLY struggled with that.) The places we visited tended to be dirtier than we were accustomed. The food was, well, different. (We all lost weight while we were gone!) Asians were ennamored by the children, especially Ali. Men, women, and children would grab her, hug her, and wanted to take pictures with the kids. (Dad and I both struggled with this.)
All that said, the people we visited, toured with, or stayed with were precious. God blessed us richly with the opportunity to see the different cultures. We were reminded on every turn how blessed we are to live with such riches and freedoms.
