Cool hearing from you! :) Really neat that you met Damien and Kara. It feels like we've passed each other, as they were just coming into Thailand, and we were leaving for the subcontinent. India is a trip - I'm glad my writing may guide you a bit. Thanks for recommending the Old Town Family Guest House... I'll definitely check it out if we go through Melaka again. I liked Melaka, but we didn't have the best accommodation by a long shot... (Although if I had been in India first, I suspect I might have had more resilience...) I didn't go to Capitol Satay!! Darn, I meant to do it! I noticed it when I saw it was always jam-packed with locals... Then I noticed it was in the guidebooks, too. Ah well, something else to look forward to on the next pass!

We just met Damian and Kara at a cooking class in Chiang Mai and after looking at their blog I stumbled across yours. I'll be following your progress in India as that's where we're headed next. Too bad you didn't stay at the <a href="http://www.melakaguesthouse.com/" rel="nofollow">Old Town Family Guest House</a> in Melaka. We stayed there on a recommendation of a traveler we met and loved it. Nice place run by nice people. Also, we went to the hugely popular Capitol Satay restaurant in Melaka and had a great meal.

Looking forward to what you'll eat in India as I plan to make my way there after South America.

I am longing for the day that I can go to SEA and eat the scrumptious delights. Hopefully in a few months I'll be there too! Have fun in India. You are making me hungry and jealous!!!

We very much enjoyed hanging out with you and Helene in Bangkok, and have had a great time with your Thailand recommendations. (Btw - the pad thai and green papaya salad with crab = amazing). Hopefully our paths with cross again in the future. Until then, many happy namastes for your travels in India. Remember to sharpen your elbows!

We just got to Thailand two weeks ago and love it and I would really like to know the name of your Happy Place. I'll shoot you an email to find out because our plan is to make our way south to Cambodia, then probably back over to the Thai beaches, and then north to Laos . . . or something along those lines. Have fun in India! We'll be there in mid-March for a bit, so if you're still in the country, maybe we can catch up.
