Back to the UK (for a bit!)

After more than a year in Asia, we're off to the UK for a couple of weeks! We will be spending a couple of weeks visiting friends and family, and another week working back at our UK campus. Oh, and we will also be attending a friend'a wedding! Yippee!

A weekend in the Cameron Highlands

Over the course of our 11 months living in Malaysia we have managed to visit quite a few places across the country: Langkawi (twice), Tioman (twice), Penang, Kuching, Kuala Lumpur (many times), Melaka (twice), to name a few. But it's the Cameron Highlands that many people associate with Malaysia and continue to talk about, even taking pride of place as the front cover on the current Malaysia Lonely Plant guide (other brands are available). So we thought it was time to see what all the fuss is about...

A belated postcard from Borneo

Hello! In keeping with my promise to catch up on my posts, today I thought I'd share with you some pictures from our trip to Kuching in Borneo. Kuching is in the Malaysian state of Sarawak and is about a two hour direct flight from our home in JB. In November last year we had the opportunity to take an extra long weekend away, thanks to two consecutive national holidays in celebration of 1) the Hindu festival of Deepavali and b) the Johor Tigers football team winning a big competition somewhere! 

On being vegetarian

I'm not even going to begin to explain my total lack of blogging since my New Year's resolution...! I suppose we were busy for a while and then I just got out of the habit of writing. I think we also tend to rely too much on Facebook to post pictures and news of our escapades, forgetting that a) not everyone uses Facebook and b) a time may come when we don't want to use it anymore either, and then all of our photos will disappear from the tinterweb!

Sorry for the delay..but, new exciting things to read

We have to admit that we have not been so good on the blogging front for some time now, BUT, the reason for this is due to all of the exciting things that we have been up to. So much so that we haven't had a chance to blog about it (this is not strictly true, but we have been up to a lot!) So, here's a run-down of what we've been up to in 2016 so far...

Happy New Year!

It's 2016! In 2015 we completely failed on the blogging front so one of our New Year's resolutions is to make sure we remember to write on here regularly (that makes it sound like we have a whole list of resolutions, which we don't really!).

Anyway, here is a quick round-up of what we did in the past few weeks...

Travel plans, a baby naming ceremony and an anniversary

Sorry for the accidental blog hiatus... I actually meant to upload this post two or three weeks ago! The picture goes some way in explaining what we have been occupying ourselves with. We'll write more about that in another post, but in the mean time, here's a very belated update!
