People were more open

The people are friendly

The  food was amazing

We too have a variety

Family and friends were

 what mattered most

Agree wholeheartedly

And it’s such a boost

We lived in Oaxaca

for the first six years

We lived in P. Jaya

For just as many years

a source of writing inspiration

a likeness of environment

We live at an  elevation

of over 7, 000 feet, where

bougainvillea bloom year-round

We have similar high elevation

at Cameron Highlands where

flowers of all kinds abound

 Italian, Brazilian, Argentinean,

French, Chinese and Japanese

No lack of finding something delicious to eat

Italian, Malay, Indian, Thai, Middle Eastern

French, Chinese and Japanese

We also have a smorgasbord of treats

It’s virtually similar!

Hank at our city of Kuala Lumpur

Note: Those in italics are Pam's description of her city 

matched by almost similar elements here in our part of 

the world except that we do not have any smoking volcanoes

Victoria had invited Pam, a wonderful friend, to write about her city and we're to write about ours at d"Verse - Oh, the Places we Live!
