Finally after 1 month I have the time to sit down and write!

This is the first time I have blog, Im not sure about the language of it as I know I have hungarian friends who prefer to read in Hungarian so it might be bilingual, I will see.
So I arrived to Kuala Lumpur (KL), Malaysia. I will try to write in time order, sometimes it might be hectic, a so many things happened during this 1 month and there are surprising things every day!;-)
About the flight. Actually my luggages has been lost…when I wanted to check-in in Bangkok, they told me they didn’t take my luggage from the previous flight, so I have to take it, when I went back where I couldnt find the luggages, mine wasn’t there!!! I had to run to reach my flight to KL. So I knew that it has been lost…the first week I called all airports every day, I wrote to everyone who can help, was working a lot to get back. There was a very helpful guy at the Bangkok airport (BKK) from Thai Airways, to whom I think I cn thank for my luggages getting back. So after 1 week we had to go to NATCON without my own stuff. One of my team mate, Ariff got a call during NATCON that my luggages landed in KL, so I could go for it after the conference.
First most interesting thing, I went out in BKK imagine, I COULD NOT BREATH!!I FELT LIKE THERE IS A SPACE WITHOUT AIR!it was so hot and humid!!!of course after that I could, but after 10 minutes I went back to the air-conded airport..:-)) so when I landed in KL, I have already known that its gonna be that hot and humid outside, I felt similar, but I think BKK was much more heavy.
I bought NEWSPAPER in BKK which was in thai language, and the retailer was watching me with eyes why Im buying it. I have a habit that I always buy a local newspaper wherever I go If I can. So I have one from BKK and from Johor Bahru so far.
First night I met my team mates at KL Sentral. I arrived here from the airport. They are really funny and of course they started with a joke, they introduced themselves with other names, they has just mixed the names between each other. The surprising thing is that when they told their names I felt strange as well as I have been mailing with many of them earlier and I matched different faces to them, so I surprised but I didn’t think they are joking with their names. One of the team mates looks so Arabic and I thought he is Ariff, but he said a different name and someone else said Ariff. after that we went to a dinner place. during the way James was sitting in the car but he introduce himself as Jasper, so I thought he is jasper. they asked my opinion about James as he was the main point of contact. well i said only good things, so its OK, but you feel how funny it is...in the car i even mentioned that actually for Ariff I thought different guy, abd I told who. later on it turned out that I was right...
during the dinner they asked their names, and I was totally confused, I could not tell them...
the dinner was ok, i dont know what i have eaten, but the drink was Mango Special juice. it was wonderful!!! i have never drunk mango juice. and there were real fruit pieces in it.
the strange thing was that they brought me fork and spoon to eat, no knife.
I though OK, maybe its a special place and they eat with spoon.
the thing is that the other day when we went to have lunch to a shopping centre, they gave me spoon and fork again to eat. so I had to realize that here THEY DONT USE KNIFE AT ALL!!!!
THE KNIFE IS THE SPOON HERE!!!so Im eating with fork and spoon for a month:-)
