Ok so wea re finally nearly out of asia!!! Only Malacca and singapore left to report on. So we arrived in the centre of malacca not far away from the local china town. We had read in the lonely planet before we left kuala lumpur that there was a good budget hostel called Eastern Heritage and it took our fancy as it claimed to have a dipping pool!!! We got there at around 4 in the afternoon and went to check it out. We were really gutted when the man behind the c...

One of the last stops in Malaysia was the capital of Kuala Lumpur.

We did however meet a nice German guy called Marco on the boat who accompanied us whilst we walked round looking for sh...

Ok so lets firstly explain the pic. This is Gerogetown in Penang, our next stop after Langkawi. The strange pram/buggy things are called trinshaws. They are bicyles with side cars carrying two people. They are everywhere in Georgetown, but its really funny as it seems that because they are a very traditional thing you seem to have to be at least over 70 to drive one!!!!!!
