It was very wierd having a place that we'd be staying for more than a few days and meant we could unpack for the first time in about 4 months - although after seeing some of the mouldy treats at the bottom of our bags it probably wasnt such a good thing. The flat was really cool, 2 minutes walk from the busiest beach on earth and a bbq in the garden - what else could you want in Australia?! Our flatmates seemed cool as well; there was Jonny, a backpacker from Ca...

Well here it is, I know all the 'blog fans' (i.e. James) have been waiting for me to finally get my ass into gear and write this darned entry, so here it is, a mere 9 months late and with my memories a tad on the hazy side...

They are two of the most generous, humble and friendly people we have met o...

We spent our last 16RM on a below-par lunch on the way to Kuala Lumpur, confident that my bank card would work when we got there. We were dropped off in china town in the capital and headed straight to the ATM. I was already debating if i should have chicken or duck for dinner when i was told i had insufficient funds in my account. It just so happened that it was a bank holiday back home so could possibly not have any money for another 2 days...d'oh!! Just incase...
