Day 1-4(my catch up!!)

Hi everyone,
Yayyy I have my own blogspot...how exciting!! didn't realise how intelligent I was did you?? lol anyway how is everyone?? Im fine very warm but doing great! welcome to my blogspot on.....MALAYSIA!
First day we arrived at a very wet but very beautiful KL(Kuala Lumpa to you who don't understand!!). Stayed in a beautiful hostel with hot water and a comfy..ish bed!! Met Illi who is our rep and who is taking care of us on this trip. I am sharing a room with Linda( two seperate beds ofcourse!!) so I met her and everyone else on the project. Once we had all got settled in, Illi took us for a welcome dinner an Indian just 5 minutes walk from the house and it was fantasic. We just had tapas a wee bit of everyone but the food was gorgeous and Im not actually a fan of indian.
Afterwards we went to a local bar and had a drink(me having a coke!) just to celebrate our first night in Malaysia! We went back to the house(via the shop to get loads of sweeties and chocolate of course) for our long 4 hour journey to Peinang where we would be working in the zoo.
Woke up not...late but not early in between,had some breakfast and went into town with some of the girls. We were all broken up into groups. 6 of us went to another zoo just half an hour from Kuala Lumpa and the rest(us the unlucky ones!!) travelled to Peinang. It was long being 4 hours but we did stop inbetween and had a drink and a toilet break but I think I mostly slept or played games on my mobile!. Arrived on a dull but very seneric town on Peinang and straight to our house where we wouls be staying! Its a lovely house looking over the mountains which really is a beautiful sight(will try and get pics if I can remember how to upload them to the computer!).
Checked into our house where the six of us would be staying. All together there is Sue and Paul(who have a room to theirselves),Myself and Linda who share a room with 2 single beds and 2 twins(can't remember their names but its sooo funny coz they are both indentical and we all get mixed up by them!). We then went for some lunch/dinner in town which is 25 minutes walking but it was a beautiful walk along a park and we passed the zoo that we would be working at!! Went into town for dinner which was lovely and then went shopping for some food and supplies for the house. Went for a beer and then went home!Up early tomorrow for out first day of orentation/work
