If you saw Chris' comment on facebook about envisioning Sean Connery hanging in between the Petronas Towers by a rope. . . this is what he was talking about.
Kuala Lumpur? What/where's that? I only recognize the buildings. . .
Well, Chris will now have another reason to remember this city. He's been there for a day and a half already, and has a day and a half left of getting economics smart :)
Chris and three other teachers from our school, went to Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia, for an IB conference. He definitely felt a little weary of going and being the 23 year old, brand new economics teacher, who would rather be there because he was teaching IB history. I got to skype with him last night though, and he said it's been good so far. They began by introducing themselves and their experiences, so there was no hiding his novice situation. He told me he felt good about understanding about half of the economics jokes. . . I just told him he was a nerd ;)
His brain is a sponge, and I'm sure it will be full of new ideas, teaching strategies, and grading methods when he comes home. Not the most thrilling content as far as I'm concerned, but I'm thankful he's getting the chance to do this, and further his understanding and experience.
But like Chris said, wish I could be there to experience it with him! The city that is. . .
Chris said it's like Singapore meets NewYork.
He has a view of the Petronas Towers from his hotel room. . . pretty cool!
Wow Chris what a cool experience to be able to attend an IB conference and see such a beautiful city! And BIG!! Katie, doesn't it stink when our husbands get to travel without us!? You guys will have to go back someday just for fun :) LOVE YOU GUYS!
