The concierge just came up to collect those DHL boxes; and I answered the door to him wearing a Chinese silk dressing gown and a headband. I swear I’m turning into an ageing diva; all that was missing was the smudged mascara and bottle of gin.

What are you going to do about this Blog? I guess you will still be in transposition when you get back but there will also be quite an adjustment going on, coming back to your new-old life. Or maybe you called call it Lost In Transition, before you go on to the next place. BTW, if you are flying into Heathrow’s new super-duper Terminal 5 get ready for utter chaos and long delays getting your luggage. I was supposed to be flying to Stuttgart yesterday but thank god I cancelled it!
well, I guess there will be, and yet not. an adjustment, that is.
re. the blog: I’ve really enjoyed writing this, but it’s definitely had a purpose - the charting of an experience - so by definition should, sadly, come to an end when I leave. I’ve got a feeling my last post might be from Kuala Lumpur airport ;-).
when I go back home, I will keep the ‘Blog’ section of my website (www.andreamann.com) more up-to-date than I did previously. and I’m sure I’ll continue to write the occasional post about music on http://www.jazz.com.
and next time I go abroad to sing, I’ll come up with a new blog title ;-).
Great post. I was checking continuously this blog and I’m impressed! Extremely helpful information specifically the last part I care for such information much. I was looking for this particular information for a long time. Thank you and good luck.
Excellent goods from you, man. I have understand your stuff previous to and you’re just extremely magnificent. I actually like what you have acquired here, certainly like what you are saying and the way in which you say it. You make it entertaining and you still care for to keep it sensible. I cant wait to read far more from you. This is actually a terrific web site.

About this blog
It's over.
Ah... Do you want to know a bit more?
This blog was set up to chart my experience singing in Malaysia for two months (see below for the original 'About this blog' blurb) - and is over until the next time I do a stint in Asia, at least. At which point, I'll probably return to this page, slap a big '2' next to the words 'Lost In Transposition', and start blogging every day, all over again. In the meantime, I'll be writing weekly posts about life, the universe and jazz music over at the 'Blog' section of andreamann.com. Which is my main website, and where no pictures of my bottom exist.
My name is Andrea Mann and I'm a jazz singer and a freelance journalist. I live alone in London, England... except for February and March this year, when I'll be living in with approximately 300 other people in a hotel in Penang, Malaysia.
It's a five-star hotel with a pool, a spa and a jazz lounge. I'll be singing six nights a week in this jazz lounge, and the agent says I'll "be treated like a local celebrity". I'm imagining my experience might turn out to be a little like Lost In Translation. Hence the title. And the bottom.
This is going to be my blog about my adventures out there. I apologise in advance for making you click on my bottom to get to the homepage.
Want me to play at *your* five-star hotel? Or just want to say hello? Email me at info@andreamann.com, or leave a comment on one of these here post thingies. And a very warm 'hello' back.
