England and Malaysia
Sarah Jones has been covering the UK floods, even as they threaten her own home. In Malaysia, Jennifer Pak can't get used to how open Malaysians are about their bodily functions.
England has experienced the wettest January since 1766, with thousands of homes now underwater in the south of the country. Sarah Jones has been reporting on those floods as they threaten her own home. She finds that the deluge has actually brought her community closer together.
In Malaysia, subjects like religion are still taboo. However, as Jennifer Pak finds, all Malaysians talk openly about their bodily functions. But this degree of openness can be somewhat unsettling, and even annoying.
