Today marks the end of two things.  One, the winter vacation has ended and tomorrow we will all be in class.  I will be happy to see all of you but I have a lot of work to do.  That's okay because it is enjoyable work.  Two, as I write this, I am drinking the last packet of instant milk tea I bought in Malaysia.  My wife and I stayed in an expensive hotel in Malacca because the cheap hotels there were awful and there were almost no rooms available anywhere because of a large convention in town.  The information for this costly hotel said they had free tea and coffee but there was only coffee in the room.  When I called the front desk to ask for tea they said they don't put tea in the rooms.  I was irritated but couldn't do anything about it so I went to a corner store and bought some instant milk tea.  I couldn't drink it all before we left Malaysia so I brought it back to Korea with me.  Today I opened the last pack and felt that my trip to Malaysia had ended again.

This summer I went to Malaysia for two weeks.  It would take a long time to write about everything I saw so I just want to share a few photographs I took while there.  I will write some comments on each picture.

I hope you are all doing well and enjoying your summer vacation.  When I was a student, I spent my summer vacations working at a convenience store near my house.  I didn't like that job but I needed to make money for university.  In Canada, most students work and get student loans to pay for their education.
