Thanks for the help! I doubt, though, that I could head out there anytime
soon; though I'd love to, especially to visit Malacca... It will probably
Mexico again this summer, so I could finally bring my Spanish up to the
Advanced level (it's right there). And my little sister is saying I should
go with her to China, especially since the food scene is so awesome there
now. But I will be sure to check out Malaysia soon!
