A Live Post!!!

Yea it is!  I am actually writing directly onto the blog, now that I've finally actually set the thing up!  Really, I should be working on lesson planning and unit projects and all that, but the internet is rare and I seem to find endless ways to waste my time while sitting at starbucks using the Kenny Rogers Roasters free internet!  I'm waiting for the coffee to kick in...last night was my first big night out in Malaysia, I finally kicked enough of the jet lag to make it past 11pm and so off we went to Reggae Bar, yup, a reggae bar, in Chinatown, in Kuala Lumpur....random, I know!  And some of you know how much more random it gets!!!!!!  So partying till 4, finding my way back to my apartment and then getting up at 6:30am to take students to World Water Day has left me with a desperation for coffee - also explains the randomness and perhaps dumbness of the writing of today's blog!

I realize I've told you a lot of what I've done, but not about what's what here!  Aside from the 12 hour time difference and the other side of the world thing, it's hot!  The kind of Canadian summer hot, where it's humid and sweaty and great!!!!  Most afternoons there are massive thunderstorms that would rock your socks off!  I live on the 18th floor of a brand new condo, which has 4 towers and houses most of the teachers...my peeps rock and I have a pool, gym, squash courts, ping pong and everyone nearby!  It's good times, and 10 minutes to walk to school!  School is good, aside from walking to the 5th floor in the sweat every morning, lunch and afternoon!  I start in class tomorrow morning, which should be cool - the kids seem great!

I can't really compare KL to anywhere else I've been...they have a lot of the same weather and plant-type stuff as Trinidad (I'm looking at red bamboo now!) and are trying to be very western and cosmopolitan and tell you that every chance they get, but things are still different!  Everything is english and I have yet to find someone with whom I can't communicate, although I get the feeling I annoy many of the men just with the fact that I'm a girl!  Oh, and for those of you wondering, the sexiness of my elbows has not yet offended anyone, nor has my eating with my left hand!  I have yet to really leave my bubble aside from the partying, so I am really looking forward to seeing KL in the daylight!  Perhaps next weekend!!!!!

Anyway, I've lost my train of thought and really should get some work done - comment back with questions and I'll answer them, perhaps it will keep me on track and this will make more sense!!!!  Pictures will come soon....Peace!
