This weekend I travelled to Sindumin for an English Camp at another E.T.A.'s school. Sindumin is 30 miles west of where I live, but it took us around one and half hours by car to get there because the roads are a little rough.
Getting to Malaysia took quite a long time. It ultimately required four flights and a three-hour drive to get to Tenom from the United States! Malaysia is 13 hours ahead of United States Eastern Standard Time.
Tenom is a relatively small town of only 5,000 people. My school is less than a five-minute walk away, and the center of town, complete with grocery stores and restaurants, is also about a five-minute walk away. Therefore, I walk everywhere in town. My roommate’s school is about 10 kilometers away, so he drives to school every day.
Before attending the English Camp this weekend, a number of E.T.A.s met up in Sipitang. Sipitang is on the west coast of Sabah. We ate our dinner right by the water and watched the sunset.
