Time in Malaysia Extended

I will be staying in Malaysia until the end of August so my countdown is now at 90 days not 70. taylor's requested that I stay until that time in order to get some things completed. I was okay with that as it is important to me to fullfill the duties you were hired to complete.

I have gotten into the habit of exploring KL. There is lots to do and many, many restaurants and smaller malls to explore. The other night I went to the Hard Rock cafe for some western food and to listen to a live band. The food was great, music not so great, but the crowd was mostly white folks like me which is unusal most places I go.

There is still lots of time if anyone wants to visit and we all know you teacher types have the months of July and August off. I would be happy to show you around, feed, entertain, and accommodate you.  I will draw the line at free beer for larry as no one can afford to feed free beer to Brown Bear :-)

I am doing some ONSIS work and have just completed in-servicing 75 Malaysian teachers on Blended Course delivery and implementing Gizmos in their Science and Mathematics courses. If you have not used Gizmos, check them out at http://www.explorelearning.com/. You can use any Gizmo for 5 minutes ... just enough time to get a feel for what it does. There are several hundred Gizmos to explore.

I am surviving well on my own and have even started to cook now and again.

That's about it for now, so TTYL.
