These past couple days have sure been quite filled! Donovan and I went out on our own date two nights ago, at a Thai restaurant close to the apartment. Talk about spicy food!!! We got curry chicken, and some lemon tea and we were sweating throughout the dinner. But it was too good not to finish!
Today, is the Indian holiday, Deepavali, which is a holiday celebrating light and happiness. The whole city practically shuts down to celebrate this ancient India holiday. Donovan and I had the morning off and we decided to head into Georgetown to the Penang Museum and we saw some amazing exhibits. There were art pieces and artifacts from China, Thailand, Indonesia, India and of course, native Malaysia. Malaysia is so proud of their beautiful heritage, its so wonderful to be able to soak up this humble culture.
After the museum, Donovan and I headed into "little India" in honor of Deepavali. We had to cross through Chinatown. Those two little towns where so spectacular! We saw Buddhist temples and Hindu temples, along with many stands selling local goods. We found a local Indian cafe, or kaffe, to enjoy authentic Indian cuisine. Yummmy! It even had some dried anchovies to go with it. Super weird to have a dried fish on your plate along with rice. But it was alot of fun and the food (minus the dried lil fishies) was amazing!
Well, tonight we are watching the boys, and Josh and Trudy are heading out on their first date in a long time! And Im finally going to have time to cook dinner! What's on the menu...well of course, rice and chicken!! :) Along with some papaya, starfruit and pineapple for dessert.
So Happy Deepavali my friends! Let us all remember this holiday celebrating light, the True Light, who is really the reason to celebrate. God is good!
