HowesIT in Malaysia
In 2006 we started the greatest adventure of our life. Ruth and I had never traveled outside of New Zealand and we contemplated taking on teaching positions in Singapore. Now we are living, working and loving living in Malaysia. We still teach for the same company because that lets us wander. The more we wander, the more we wonder! The world is full of things to wonder about.

Going to the Beach
Sometimes we just need to escape and get away from every day things. For me I like to go to the beach. This year Ruth and I have made a number of trips across to Bintan for our weekend escapes. These have been memorable for us for a number of reasons. Here are some photos from our last escape that help to illustrate why I love this place.
It is relaxed, so relaxed that you jump on a ferry in Singapore and spend an hour sailing across but when you arrive it is before the time you left. Now that is about as laid back as you can get.
We spend a lot of time exploring the beach and playing with our cameras. There is a range of interesting things to see. We have discovered some very interesting shells while walking along the beach lately.
The beach is always clean, it gets swept and groomed on a daily basis. The water is warm with a small but interesting amount of coral easily accessible. I love just spending time wandering here with Ruth.
It is always great to spend quality time with friends, and this year we have had some memorable times with many of our friends here. We love to take our visitors across to enjoy the pool and the beach.
We love just relaxing and playing in the pool after we have spent time playing on the beach. The cameras work overtime.
