I was supposed to fly back from the UK to Japan via Thailand, to help out with the NGO I work with there. But I postponed it to try and get the phonics CD done, it’s not a problem as I’ll be able to pop over in the Summer. Mind you it’s just as well with the bird flu scandal! But it did mean I had an 11 hour flight from the UK to KL and then a 16 hour stop over! The good thing was the timing, from 8AM till Midnight!! So after doing today’s email (there is a great lounge at KL airport) I went for a wonder round the city. And after 3 months of cold weather it was absolutely fantastic to be in the hot sunshine!! Yeah!!!! Fantastic! This year I’m planning on cutting back on live events ( I think teaching 2,000 teachers and 10,000 kids was enough last year) and spending more time on making new resources, so somewhere hot would be the best place! And the shopping in KL is great – wow! Then at midnight onto the plane to Japan.
