Still in Malaysia
Malaysia continues to be an interesting experience. Teaching is going well, and I'm starting to build a comfortable relationship with the students. It is fortunate, though, that I've been teaching outside of the uni this year, as the students behave somewhat more "informally" than I'm used to. The most interesting things to date were probably the "K-Boxes", which I eventually discovered were boxes (literally) you enter to sing karaoke, and this strange exercise thing, which consisted of a stool, a seat, and a motor. The motor moved the seat as if you were sitting on a horse. They were sold as devices to improve your lower back muscles, but my only thought was somewhat less innocent.

At any rate, now that I have a taxi driver I like things are going well. Excellent staff, good students, and an interesting culture. I'm still basically teaching or sitting in the hotel, but it is still proving to be much better than I had expected it to.
