Yep the car arrived today as promised, really nice Hundyai Sonata, automatic with leather interior, looks about new. The damn steering wheel is on the wrong side though, the ladies from Hertz said there was nothing that they could do about that. We will now begin to drive in this craziness...should be fun!! After the car was delivered, Rox had some work stuff to do here locally (there was a Jabil meeting at the G-Hotel, next door) so she went and did her thing, while we did ours. Our thing involved a walk down to the local "Fitness Studio" (Gym). there are two gyms within walking distance and the one here at the condo is not worth the time. The closest one is called "Celebrity Fitness" and it seems more like a night club than a gym. super loud house music, neon lights...not for me. The "Fitness Studio" is a bit farther than next door, but still within a mile of here. Much simpler, much more what I was looking for. the yearly rates are very reasonable also about $300 us for full access. I will be joining within the next week. On the way back we stopped by the Soccer Experience, so of the kids and Martin's wife was there, Brenna got to see her friend Oliver, and I spoke with Melissa (I think, god I am so bad with names!), she gave me some additional advice about being an expat, and advised that she would tell Martin I came by. Brenna and I stopped at The Bean, got a tea and a fruit smoothie, cooled off from our walk, and headed into the mall. I had not been in the Quicksilver store here as of yet, so I went to check it out, pretty nice. Brenna wanted to see "Hop" which was playing at around 2:00pm, we had some time, so we stopped home, dropped off our packages (cant go into quicksilver and not buy stuff, it sacrilegious!). Onto the movies...another strange experience...So you buy a ticket, which by the way for both of us was like $4.00US. You are assigned a seat, you get to pick. You are not let into the theater until the time on the ticket 1:50pm. It is also different as far as the previews, most of the time in kids movies, you get kids movie previews...not here, we saw previews for Scream 4, Priest. Scream 4 has Brenna not wanting to go to her room by herself tonight, poor kid! Anyway, "Hop" was totally for kids, not an adult/kid movie, but for $2.00 a piece who cares. Brenna was happy she got to see it. We got home after the movie, Rox was home. We went and did some grocery shopping, and planned an at home menu as the eating out is getting a bit much for the wallet and the waistline. Cooked a type of Grouper tonight, with a crunchy potato chip topping, some awful corn, that I think I burned in the microwave. It was not too bad. We have to start to think about getting a maid, we are getting little notes from women dropped at our doorstep, we have some recommendations from friend, but we will have to make a decision soon, that may help with the meal planning, because most of them can and do cook! Rox is off to KL until Saturday night, so it is just Boo and I tonight. Brenna's friend Katie is back from China, and she will be excited to see her tomorrow! Until then, goodnight all!!
