Malaysia > Penang > Georgetown
what about the culture difference....the religions.....
Malaysia is the example to follow.....
together.....not event partitioned....when you stay here ...you see that together means really together...in the same district 4 examples of religions.....like this place is not affected by the problems affecting the rest of the world......
and religions means colors...a lot of colors.....you drop on one shop...and you see by yourself the diversity...working together...Asian melting pot...on a Muslim country......
not to mention what about the food....the impact of that rainbow on it......
in the same way......no partitions, a food hall with few stalls can be so multicultural that is hard to imagine.......
...... one of the best example.......to follow.....

Thailand > Koh Phangan
an island that is the hell and paradise in the same time........
from the full moon party to the best place to spend a honey moon.....just in few kilometers,,,
so diversity reality leaving together and not contrasting at all......
just stop to a coconut tree and try to get one....you cannot get it...farang......is too difficult.....but someone drops to you.....
a pure feeling for them....so genuine......in the same island where thousands the night before meet up for a worldwide known party.....
but they are leaving apart from that....is just few kms......but no contamination...
maybe the jungle in the middle....is not only giving the presence but also a filter......

or be in the middle of nowhere and get fired the entire motorbike wiring....hitchhiking on a tat truck...go to the first mechanic and be sure that for evening the bike is gonna be ready.....or the clutch...or gears.......or what do you need???
or show a camera...just be interested to do some shoots...and get a crowd of people modeling for you...and so curios,,to see how they are in pic......
or ask something that could be weird ....... but if is possible why not???
or be always, always invited to have a seat......wherever, howsoever....just have seat......'you tired.......and where are you from ???'
be waiting to change a wheel and have a breakfast with a sick truck drivers....chai and cookies.....just because you are there...
and ask about a hot shower.......of course......and is not....

and ask an information...get an answer...but you say that could be also like another way ....and they say yes......?
and be invited by babas......
and get an ' i like you..' by a waiter....because he really find you interesting......no tricks.....no other meanings....
and say hello and be sure 100% that you are gonna get back hello+smile......
and leave things or luggage and no one think about that....
and bargain for everything.....
and the salty juice.....
and park the bike in the wrong spot and find it parked well, on the side of the street.....
and be questioned by everybody....be looked ....... getting all the attention....between hundreds people....and just open the mouth to ask,,,,and you get what you need..........
and the way the say yes ...nodding like we say no.........fantastic......

India > New Delhi
no paper, indian toilet...
no napkins, indian napkins....
coming back in the same city after 1 month trip in the country....
doesn't look like the same
even the chats that were bothering you...are not the same....you know now how to face them....you have a kind of filter now that protects you
and so, new Delhi has another light, an understandable light, that explains ...
always the first impression is not complete, you need more info to get clear what's going on....
now i can even stay longer.......is like a known place...with more o less known people.......
kinky factors remain on the street....you cannot agree...but in same way you can understand....
people always surround you, in all the possible ways....never a feeling of dislike.....never a smile not given.......and even the hot season is more hot......
so could be enough......even if you have to scavenge on the rubbish......but for sure you are gonna find something, always......
after that you are ready for many things.......
