We reached Ipoh, Malaysia this morning at 8:30am by bus from
Singapore. Uncle George picked us up and took us to his house where we met
Dai-Yee (my Aunt). We went to the nearby marketplace to eat Chee Cheong Fun and
then drank iced coffee. The toilet in the marketplace was a hole in the ground
and it was filled with another human’s excrements. Outside the coffee house,
there was a butcher fileting fish on newspaper on the gravel with net bags
filled with turtles, frogs, and fish surrounding him. In a cart beside him,
there was a pile of chicken with his friend butcher cutting out the innards. I
felt faint. I definitely take Canada for granted. I held Mama’s held and walked
her through the streets and into the house.
