As I was crossing the border from Singapore to Malaysia the border crossing officer and I had a nice little chat. The three of us had learned about some of the current events that had taken place over in the US of A the day before. So I was ready for the conversation that was about to take place. She looked at my American passport and said...
"American. America is celebrating."
With a small smile on my face and nervousness in my eyes as my mind is thinking is this a trick question...."Yes. We just heard the news last night"
"It may have taken a long time, but the bad people will always fall"
"Yes, yes they do."
Then we went back to regular scheduled programing of asking me about how long I plan on staying in the country and stamping away. I was nice of her, but I mean I was not sure if that was small talk I should be having over here. yikes.
