Unfortunately Melaka turned out to be one of the worst places I've been to so far, and in retrospect it wasn't actually anything to do with the place itself. So I arrived in Melaka at about 5pm and then had to get a bus into the town centre. I sat next to a guy who seemed really friendly and who told me he'd tell me to get off when I needed to. Some point soon into the journey I realised I had passed my stop so just got off where I was. At that point I didn't mi...

I went to stay in the Cameron Highlands just for a day and a half, and though I really liked it there, that was about enough time. I stayed in a little village/town called Tanah Rata right in the centre of the highlands. It was actually pretty cold there as temperatures year round are between 10 and 21 degrees.

I really liked Kuala Lumpur alot which was so nice after Melaka. I stayed in a really nice area where we could reach everything easily by walking, though were out of the mad hub of central and cinatown.

And then it really really rained, flooding the streets and stranding us there for a couple of hours. By the end of our stay in KL, however, this was our 'lo...

So my flight from Hong Kong was interesting as my bag was 4kg overweight so I ended up pulling my bag apart in the middle of the airport and ended up with the biggest carrier bag ever as hand luggage. So big in fact that I really struggled to carry it! Singapore turned out to be exactly the heat I was after, and a whole lot more! I ended up staying there quite a lot longer than expected and I liked it a whole lot more than i had thought I would. I managed to se...

A bit of a rushed trip in Hong Kong, but I'm now ready to go to a beach and it is in many ways similar to the other Chinese cities I've been to. However having said this we did try to pack as much as possible into a day and a half. I spent a long time looking for this art space which turned out to be shut, went to Hollywood road (its full of antiques, junk shops and weird/cool souvenirs), went up to Victoria Peak (its super touristy, much more expensive than it n...
