Yeah unfortunately the slots are extremely limited this time, apparently the only allow 200 visitors per hour slot so I have many friends who also failed to get a pass. Didn't get to visit them myself. I have some friends who signed up as volunteers though so did hear them sharing about the experience.

Imo they did suffer a bit from some bad planning and communication. They were planning to visit Penang much earlier but was delayed, while the delay was not their fault the subsequent communications were not really done well, many people were unaware of their latest schedule and by the time we got to know about their visit most of the slots were already been taken up by those who got the news earlier. Quite unfair like this la haha.

Sorry that you didn't get to visit them this time. Maybe next time (hopefully with better management haha!)

Glad you enjoyed the story and learned something interesting!

Thanks! Yeah it's so interesting isn't it? I love these kind of stories too haha. I first heard about the story from a friend, but did went on to look for more information and compiled the information I could find, and came up with this post.

Haha, hey!!! X2

But the taste is not actually the same or even similar. But the main ingredients and way of preparing have a lot of similarities, hence the inferred influence.

Thanks! I was really interested when I first heard of the story as well, and thought I must look more into it and share the story!

Haha, hey!!!

But this part is actually the hardest to establish in the whole story, we could only infer the influence from the historical interactions.

And mohinga is really good in its own too!

I believe she was scheduled to visit more ports in Malaysia, but had to cut short her visit because the ship had to undergo some repairs. But I'm sure she'll be back (or her sister ship the Logos Hope), hopefully will get a chance to visit then!

Don't forget to self care!

I see, sorry to hear that too! (But it's not a problem - this kind of situation with therapy can happen.) Just wishing you that you'll find some support and help you need (in professional service or otherwise) soon!

Ayy happy to see another non techie therapist here!

Sorry to hear about your week, hope you're holding up. Though talking about it with someone might be helpful indeed. Would however suggest that you might want to see a therapist/counsellor instead of a psychiatrist (unless you have been seeing one, or are looking for medical help), as they might be more suited to what you may need in dealing with the stress and difficult experiences. We've also copied the mental health wiki over here to c/care if you're looking for information on this. Wishing you the best!

Haha, I must say it's quite eye opening for me to see how different the culture is!
