Penang -- Week 24 -- Fish Head Curry

SATURDAY (continued)

In the evening it's more walking along Gurney, night-time photography (I'm in love), and eating at restaurant number two.

Fish Head Curry. Nope, it's not just a name. And it's quite good.

Regin was absolutely enthralled with a large black moth we saw outside the restaurant. Boy looooooooooves bugs. And yes, those are the ever-present sunglasses he's wearing around his neck. He's got his quirks!

This is a crepe place a few blocks from our apartment. Lunch ladies? Want to make the trek out here for one of our crepe lunches? I'd have to just watch of course, but I'd be willing to suffer through it!

This building houses Cubar, that salsa club around the corner from us.

It USED to be the salsa club around the corner from us. Apparently they stopped doing salsa a few months ago. Bummer. Now they have a fish spa. Seems like there are fish spas popping up all over here. I first heard about them through Evelyn a month or two ago, now it seems to be the in thing here. This one is cool because it is open until midnight. George and I are totally thinking of doing this at the end of a date night one night. And how cool that it's around the corner! I know fish spas are weirding some of you out, but I'm totally game. I'm just afraid of accidentally squishing those poor little fishies.

In case you're curious, this is what our parking spot looks like. They sure love fluorescent lights here!

Riding the elevator.

Exiting the elevator in a mad dash to the door.

Our oh so protective front 'gate'.

How we're doing right now.

April 6th, 2009
Oh man, moving back home has been quite a transition! For Regin especially. It has taken him three months to return to being fully, or almost fully, potty trained. But we're home and happy to be with friends and in an environment where things are easier.

But of course, not everything is easier. George's first day back to work he learned that the company was exiting the business and he and all the other people that work on that product (including all those people he trained in Penang) were told to look for other jobs.

His last day was March 31st. No time for that cozy little 'sabbatical' though; after he finished his last day of work, his family called and told us they are coming (from Florida) for a visit on the 10th! This would be no big deal (other than being terribly exciting) if we were fully moved back in, but of course, until now, we've had VERY little motivation to fully unpack! So now we're preparing the house at warp speed!

You know, I do miss Penang. Hard to say what I miss exactly, because I know it's more than our friends there, but I feel a certain pang. And all the time we were there, other than missing family, friends, easy living, and snow, I never once actually missed 'Colorado.'

When we got back to Colorado, I expected to have a new and complete love for the place. I do appreciate some things a lot more, especially visual things. I see beauty where I didn't before. But it hasn't been the feeling of home that I expected, and I still have some of the same issues with the place. But what I do love IMMENSELY and will always love IMMENSELY is the people we have here. And it's been absolutely amazing to see how Regin has picked right back up where he left off with his loved ones here. There's no doubt in my mind that he somehow remembers them.
