Our arrival in Kuala Lumpur was all a bit manic really. As we had got the night bus, which by the way was very comfortable and luxurious in comparison to the Indian busses, I had fallen asleep. We were woken by the driver running up to the back of the bus telling us we had reached our stop. It was 5 in the morning and rushing around sleepily trying to gather our belongings proved tricky. However we got off the bus finding ourselves in KL surrounded by taxi driver...

We flew out of the airport in Chennai and only 3 and a half hours later we were in Singapore. As both me and Lauren have previously spent a lot of time in Singapore it was a welcome relief. We had long list of things we wanted to do over the next 3days and a longer one of things we needed to buy!

It was obvious he was not supposed to be on that train and thankfully someone spotted him and threw him off before it left. As it was late and not t...

We later realised this was a wise choice as one of our friends came of their scooter and got a few nasty cuts and bruises. A couple of days later once our friends had left we were moved into another nearby villa. This one was even nicer than the first. It was on 2 floors and was really spacious. We even had our own big terrace upstairs. Unfortunately we were not to have the villa to ourselves as promised. Two middle aged, Dutch alcoholics arrived unexpectantly...
