Berken from US, learning several languages simultaneously (and managing!)


Vladik from Moscow spends most of his time in SE Asia...

KL

Hot: It is hot here, AC is running 24 hours a day where I stay.


Wet: Daily rain is short and heavy.


Thirsty: Juice is squeezed out of sugar cane and sold with some ice.


Clean: Shaving, Malay style. They just pull out those few hair. I wish I could do that (to myself, don't take me wrong :)
