my first impression of penang was how dirty it was! most of us didnt really like it here so we decided that on our full day here we would go to a posh hotel about 30 mins away so we could use the pool and sunbath! - god we're really getting into the culture! but we've all got quite good tans already so we all think it was worth it!!! surrounding the hotel we went to it was a much nicer area with gorgeous beaches and looked like a lot of areas were in the ...

while here we stayed on an island about 15 mins by boat off the mainland - it was so amazing, i wish i could load on the photos so you could see it cause i just cant describe how gorgeous it was - in fact even the photos dont do it justice! It was just my group on this little island with the family who lived there (who were lovely). we had a few days here, we spend one of them jungle trekking on one of the islands next to ours. We trekked for about an hour and i ...

We crossed the border from singapore to malaysia to arrive in melaka, from what i saw of it it was quite quiet and very historical, wasnt much to do there although our trek leader organised for us all to go on a trishaw (kinda like a tuk tuk) r...

Arrived here after a 12 and a half hour flight next to a guy who moaned through every second of it! When i finally got away from him i caught a taxi to my hotel, my taxi driver showed me all the sites on the way to my hotel which was really cool - all the people are so nice! I wish id have planned it better so that i got a few more days here! The only thing i really did in singapore was meet up for dinner with the 12 people im travelling with (who are all really ...
