I have discovered that I blog less when I am travelling with others than when I am traveling alone. I want to make up for it, but I am too tired to write just now. It was a long trip back, via Beijing. (Actually I suspect any trip using Air China would feel like a long one.)
In the meantime, here are a few pictures from the beginning of our three weeks away.
These are some rather odd mannequins we saw in Central Market in Kuala Lumpur. The second and fourth ones are all right, but one, three and five can give you a bit of a fright if you come across them unawares.
The same evening (was it our first day?) The Man took us for a walk to see the way the streets around Merdeka Square are lit up at night. It was beautiful. 
More tomorrow, probably. I have a lot of catching up to do and a lot of photos to sort out.

Links for language teachers
I have noticed that I get a lot of hits from people searching "present simple" and "ESL," and assume that this is language teachers looking for ideas or lesson plans. The following links are good places to start.
ESL Lounge Here you will find lesson plans organised by level. A fantastically useful site for busy teachers, and easy to navigate.
British Council Here lesson plans are organized by topic. There are more teaching activities in the 'downloads' section.
The Internet TESL Journal
They have not updated this page for a while, but there is still a lot you might find useful.
Humanising Language Teaching
This is an online journal, good for ideas, inspiration, and especially good towards the end of semester when you're feeling not quite human.
Dave's ESL Cafe
Almost too much to wade through, but a very useful resource. Lots of links to other sources.
Karin's ESL PartyLand
This is a page specifically dealing with teaching simple present and present progressive. I have not tried any of these, but there are a lot of ideas here, and they look good. At the very least you will be inspired.
Good luck!

Welcome home. Great pictures. I look forward to more. Thanks for sharing your experiences with all of us who are unable to travel as extensively as you.
same as what bobciz said!
I am really looking forward to the rest of the pictures. Those mannequins are really weird looking. I am used to seeing ones that don't smile at all.
My Singaporean friend insists on referring to those neon-coloured, wide-mouthed mannequins as Malaysian mannequins. According to him, they've spread to Greece. I usually steer clear of shops using such mannequins. ;D
