Wow, what a busy and exciting 10 days! I haven't been able to update my blog simply because I haven't been in my hotel room for long enough! So, to fill you in...
Portugal was fantastic - the weather was nice and the villa I stayed in was beautiful. It was on the side of a huge hill in a valley with a lake at the bottom. There was a swimming pool and everything! The day of my niece's christening was really nice, she was baptised in a small church in the country. Jo and I also spent a day in Porto which was nice and chilled.
So I flew back to England on the Monday and left for Kuala Lumpur the next morning. We packed too much stuff and so had to throw away loads of clothes at the airport! As a result, we very nearly missed our flight - not the best start! However, since I've been here I have had the best time. The weather is not brilliant (overcast, 32 degrees every day and spells of really heavy rain) but the people and the place are just fantastic! My new school is HUGE and my classroom is on the 4th floor. The other teachers are all really nice and we've been out every day exploring the city and the surrounding areas. I also have a new flat - it's again on the 4th floor of a building just around the corner from the school. The apartment itself is massive (it even has a walk-in wardrobe which Jo loves!) and we have free and unlimited access to a swimming pool, gym, tennis court and basketball court!
I really think I'm going to be happy here, even though I'll always miss everyone back at home. How has everyone else's summer holidays been? Don't be a stranger and I'll post some photos soon.
Legend! Sounds good so far, just like Manila actually so i kind of know what you mean! It was monsoon season when i left there but i expect it will hot up for you soon! If you go to the cinema don't forget to take a jumper cos the air con in Asia seems to be freeeezing!!

I'm off on a little English road trip for a few days so should be fun! Not missing you yet (haha) but I'm sure i will when we go back and deciding which rubbish club to venture into!!
