First 3 months

What a culture shock. I was warned how frustrating this place can be but did not realise how much. Everything is done in 1 pace and I can tell you it is slower than a snail and not very efficient. Apart from that we slowly got use to this. The pitfalls in the first 3 months:
Buying a car- expensive and people really try to rip you off including expats (once agreed on a price they still try to get a better price of other people.
Housing- we saw some real crap, but luckily Amanda found our 7bedroom house (she loves to clean it).

Good things:
Amanda has a pretty relaxed lifestyle (lucky her), not working and going to the pool and gym each morning
Work- finishing at 12.30 so I have more time with the family.

 Our trip to Bandar along the river. Went for a river cruise.

Liam has joined the soccer team and doing really well, we have now just joined him into the touch which has just started (May). Jordan is doing his techie club and has just joined video editing

Hi Ho it's of to play we go

Brunei

We arrived in Brunei on the 28th of December with anticipation running through our bodies. It was interesting as flying into Brunei it seems so green and clean, however it is not that clean unfortunately. The airport is old as nothing to offer but we have since realised that they are to do this up. We were met at the airport and taken to our apartment. Yah we made it! Photo of our first apartment.

The Beginning

Reminds me of the Beetles walking across the the pedestrian crossing

I have had to start my blog due to Jordan not embrassing the opportunity. So in short we left NZ on the 22nd December and flew into KL for 6 nights. It was a tiring trip with the 2 kids but they did so well. We didn't do much in KL as we used it as a half way mark before we reached Brunei. Photos of KL
