Here we go!

   So the new term starts tomorrow! I'm making the final adjustments to the classroom and rehearing my lines for the children when they come in. It's so nerve-wracking!
   I've been to some pretty cool places in the last week. One was called Kuala Selangor - it's a costal town and we saw loads of monkeys and got to feed them which was exciting; they come right up to you and take the food out of your hand! In the evening we went to a river and had a boat ride. 4 of us were in a boat and a guy rowed us downstream and on the banks of the river were thousands of fireflies! It was really serene and some even landed on us! I also saw a street football competition. The players were really skillful and the final games were televised live on ESPN. I even got to meet Edgar Davids (he's an ex-dutch footballer for those who don't know, and a bit of a hero of mine!)
   I've started a flickr account so I can start posting photos. There are only a few up at the moment but when I get the internet at my new apartment I'll upload some more. The address is:

   Good luck to everyone in their new schools or jobs. Let me know how you all get on, don't be a stranger!
