shoes off

Little pairs of rubber shoes litter the resorts in Malaysia and Thailand. You get given a complimentary pair of rubbery slip-ons upon arrival, and during your stay you will slip on and out of many pairs of aforementioned slip-ons. Most noticeable is how the staff never wear shows when they step under a roof or into a room. You always know when housekeeping is in your bungalow, not only by the giant supply trolley parked there, but by the shoes abandoned outside your door. I think I would like to introduce that to my apartment in Paris.

I am a Royal Baby

This year, I spent my birthday on the private resort island of Pangkor Laut in Malaysia. Definitely the most exotic place I’ve ever celebrated in! The beach here is called Emerald Bay Beach. It is exquisite. Although the staff speak English relatively well, Malaysians in general cannot pronounce the ‘tch’ sound at the end of BEACH. They say ‘beaS’ instead. Thus we swim at the Emerald Babies and we dine at the Royal Babies Club (Royal Bay Beach Club)... although they serve very spicy food for a babies club! I think I could cope with being a Royal Baby, if Pangkor Laut is anything to go by. (sighhhhhhhhhh)
