I live in Malaysia and I am most likely going to spend another year here. If I had children, my current contract would allow me to send them to an excellent international school for free.

It's a great place to live. I happen to be in my first year here and it's my first year as a fully qualified teacher, so I am spending too much money in my free time. If I weren't a dinkhead, I could send home $1,000 CDN /month without a much of a problem.

Actually, the main things I enjoy about working here are my program and the students.

KL would be a great place to bring the family. It's not a sleazy place at all. I just happen to be able to find trouble anywhere I go.

Peace
