Toilets and Tattoos

What's the deal with squat toilets? Seriously, not convenient at all! They're fine for men but for women they're the most ridiculous idea ever! I get why Asians can use them, the squat position is a lot more natural for them but it's just not part of my physical capabilities, I'm Western goddamit, I want a normal toilet! I've had to bite the bullet whilst in Penang on a little weekend away, my guesthouse has given me no option but the was a massive mental barrier to using it until my stomach was about the burst!

Toilet rant over... I've got a new tattoo and will attempt to load a picture on here which will be a novel experience for me. When I went diving in the Perhentians I fell in love with Panda Clownfish, they're well cute and have a really miserably cute mouth and they're so playful, even more than False Clownfish otherwise known as Nemos. I have a mission to get a tattoo in every country I go to (I failed at this in Holland because they tried to charge me 100 quid for Spongebob when it should have been no more than thirty and I got it for twenty in Thailand, and Germany because of the lack of open tattooists!) and I try to get something that relates to the place I am. So I have Polish writing, Spanish writing, Thai writing and a lotus flower from Cambodia. Because diving has been such a massive experience for me whilst in Malaysia I decided to get the Panda Clownfish as a memory of the amazing time I had.

New Tattoo

The writing says 'INDAH' which is Malay for 'wonderful', and also Indonesian for 'pretty' so it works in two countries but I'll still be getting some ink in Indonesia as well. It was a pain in the arse to find a tatooist here, being a Muslim country it's not relly part of the cultural tradition in the same way as Thailand, Cambodia etc. I'm well impressed, didn't think it would be as good as it is!

Think I'm going to head back to the Highlands a day early, was meant to go home Tuesday morning and pretty much go straight to work but I'm thinking I'll be shattered and having an afternoon to chill out and watch Bel, Bella and Deera working would be fun! See what happens...
