Fish Eyeballs and Other Grossness. (Is that a word?)

I have my hubby back, YAY!!! It was soooo cute, at the airport... Dominic and I actually decided to go inside this time and meet Rich when he came through the gate. When Dominic saw him coming, he started laughing and breathing hard and grinning so big! Then he actually BEAR-HUGGED Rich around his neck. It was so cute it made me cry.

So, last time Rich went to Malaysia, he took hardly ANY pictures. And so... I didn't post them. So now that he's back (and after I gave him explicit directions to take A LOT more pictures) I have enough to blog about. :) At the bottom of this post, are two different slideshows. One for each of his trips to Malaysia.

Now... for the fish eyeball part. On his first trip, his manager told him that if he plucked an eyeball out of a fish and ate it, that he could have Friday and 1/2 of Monday off when they came back to the states. Well, Rich wanted the days off...



...so here he is eating a nasty fish eyeball.

Rich has a rough time when they go to Malaysia because it is predominantly seafood. Usually he just eats rice. Haha... he also has a very hard time getting up the courage to use the restrooms there. Apparently the Malays use a hose in lieu of toilet paper. And because of that, sometimes there is 1/4 an inch of water on the bathroom floor with "particles" floating around in it. Haha!!! Rich says you have to hike your pants up so they don't get nasties on them!

Anyway, despite the restrooms and seafood, Rich has really enjoyed his trips to Malaysia because they have opened up his eyes to how easy we have it here. The people there are so humble and good, and they work HARD and LONG and don't complain. Good people. Anyway... blah, blah, blah... hope you enjoy the slideshows! They're not too long. ;)

Sorry but that's disgusting about the "particles" floating on the bathroom floor. I don't blame Rich for complaining. I had to laugh when I read it, though:)
