Finding Malaysia

Malaysia is an elusive country.

It has so many layers of culture, customs, people that sometimes, even Malaysian find it hard to pin point what Malaysia is.

With this in mind, my wife just started a blog to (re) discover her Malaysian roots.

As she is the better writer, here is an extract of her blog:

I’ve spent my whole life traveling.  I am the result of a lifetime of exposure and immersion in a variety of countries and cultures around the world.  At most, I’ve only spent about a fifth of this time in Malaysia; yet, I am Malaysian.

I started this blog to find out more about my roots.  They say, to know where you’re going, you must understand where you come from.  And even though I can’t quite explain it, I feel there is hidden and simmering bond between this country, culture and me.

This blog is a bit of an experiment really…I hope to find out more about this place through all the questions I encounter which I don’t already have the answers to.  This knowledge I seek revolves around questions and musings about the past, the present and the future.  Some are quite deep; others a bit more trivial.   I’ve already been surprised by how much I thought I knew.
