"Sir, sir, sir. Do know what it means 'Assalamualaikum'?"

"Well, sure! I think so. But why don't you go ahead and explain it to me in case I'm wrong."

"Well, it just means 'peace be upon you.' You know, it's like a greeting for us Muslims! It's just that... I know sometimes... ya know... people like you... I mean, people who aren't Muslim... ya know... maybe don't know a lot about Islam and think the words we say are are strange or something. I just wanted you to know. . ."

Hello sir i've been binge reading your entries since this morning and im amazed at how you're able to come to understand so many things in less than a year.From the local culture to the political/economical situation of the country, it shows in this blog just how much you've invested your time and energy in getting to know this side of the world.Another short note feel free to come and visit bau or sarawak in general and please update more often.😄
