pempek is a specialty dish from palembang, the capital of south sumatran province on the island of sumatra.
It's made of fish flour and spices, the sauce is made of soy sauce, vinegar, and spices, then add some egg noodles (not always) and diced cucumbers.

It's definitely changed. She wrote tongue in cheek:
"but look how do they look in the night, just like a bencong isn't it, ugly in the day but beautiful in the night :D"
"bencong" is a slang means transvestite. In indonesia (and neighboring countries such as thailand), transvestites are known to turn into beautiful women at night. or at least look beautiful.
:D

At the end of the blog, in the comments, she said that three months was just too short and that she was still enjoying her stay and she hoped to be back in egypt for her honeymoon.

Oh lol.. thank God.. hope it doesn't change your opinion about going to Egypt.. I rather Muslim tourists than westerners.. the way they think they can hold the billion dollar into Mubarak's pocket for blood and that the country's economy relies on tourism to steer it into another despotic rule..

I am really afraid of how they're ripping into Egypt now when it is like a newborn..

May Allah swt does good for Egypt and its people away from those fundie/Zionist satanists!

Wow, you must have not had good experience with Westerners. It's been a while since I've heard anyone talk of people in the West like that but as someone who lives here I can say that your argument has merit. Here in the U.S., it can be frustrating surrounded by people who think and behave in that way every day. There are young people around me who are fortunate to have the opportunity to study at the university yet when the protests in Egypt started, they turned to me and asked what disaster relief fund to donate to...

But personally, I can say that I've always wanted to visit Egypt to check out the mosques, the culture, the food and really see the beauty in the land and the people. The pyramids are cool but those wouldn't be the main reason why I want to go there as most people do. They think that just because they have the money they can go there ignorant of the culture and the language and expect everyone and everything to just adjust to them. I don't like the ethnocentrism that is being taught to American children. At such a young age children here are taught that our ways are "better" than everyone else. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, it happens.

If I ever visit Egypt, which is something I want to do after I graduate from the university in a few years, I would want to bring back stories of Egypt that really characterize the heart of the people there. Not just say,"Oh yeah, I went to Egypt and we saw some pyramids and tombs and went to a museum. Here are the photos I took of us standing around." MOST people do that when they're there and think they've really done it all. I'm sure the pyramids are captivating but that truly has no meaning to me and I can never understand how people can go to a place so magnificent and be so blind of its true beauty. So caught up in its ancient past that they can't appreciate the gift that is the present.

If I went to Egypt, I would want to connect with the people there on a deeper level and really be able to appreciate my visit and what an honor it is to be a visitor in the country. Later on in life I'd like to become a teacher and I think having a great story to tell about the people, the culture, the experience there would be a great learning experience for me and others.

And I am glad of it aprender.. I am specifically speaking of the bible thumping fundies and their Zionist compatriots.. Everyone is welcome to egypt so long as they leave their political agenda for the country behind... All you've to do is but turn on your TV to see their plans for the new Egypt, as if to take responsibility for the youth movement and where the country is headed.. I really think every country should keep its political affairs internal. I think the majority of westerners would rather hold on to their hard earned money than have it funneled by the billions to Israel to fund their illegal occupation and continued aggressions against the Palestinians..

all the best

She is Indonesian. I found some words that used only in Indonesian language but not in Malaysian.

Pempek is not omelette but food that made from tapioca and fish, sometime we eat it with noodles, sometime without noodles.

Unusual is the right word. Never imagined you could eat chicken with peanuts, but hey it was alright. :D
