One week in.....

It is exactly a week, to the hour, since Will, Caitie and I stumbled somewhat bleary-eyed and bedraggled into our new apartment.  We'd had a busy week, full of lots of travelling and goodbyes, and six days after leaving our old home we were finally entering our new one.

And here is the view we were greeted with from our living room:

The greenery is KLCC park, and of course you can see the Petronas Towers beyond that.  The tall building immediately to the right of them is Menara Maxis, where Alex works.  The sandy-coloured building at the bottom of the towers is the Suria Centre, full of shops!  Lots of designer shops, but also some more reasonably priced ones, including a fantastic book shop.

This is the same view by night:

The apartment is great, light and airy, with a shared gym and pool, although so far we haven't had to share them much.  Caitie and I have been swimming virtually every day.

As you might imagine, the last week has been somewhat of a whirlwind, trying to settle into our new home (we're getting there but there are still a lot of things that need proper homes rather than temporary ones), while also getting used to a new country.

We've not done much exploring yet, still busy working out and acquiring the basics, but we have eaten out a few times - more on that in a future post.  We have, however, now got broadband internet - woo hoo!  So the kids can go on Facebook as much as they like, and I can blog again :-)  Caitie has new pets - two goldfish - and Will is at school, making new friends  (Caitie is waiting until the start of the new school year).

And - drum roll please - I have finally made it to the gym! ;-)
