Just a quick one about Singapore. Arrived there by bus from Kuala Lumpur and met a couple of guys, Dan and Rob and ended up spending the next 3 days travelling Singapore with them. After a failed attempt at finding cheap accommodation in the centre of town, we moved further out and managed to find somewhere. Was easy to get around town though as Singapore has the most efficient underground ever! Our first afternoon was spent trying to sort out on-going flights to...

Hey once again, Have arrived in the southern hemisphere in the wonderful land of Oz but will update about my time diving in Malaysia first. So after spotting a male orangutan on the river last minute, we were soon back ashore and back to reality, well Borneo reality and a long minibus journey to the south of the island.

A taxi was definately the best plan and I was dropped off at my hostel "Lucy's Homestay" which really was more of a house than a hostel. It was cosy and the people were friendly and I was entertained with...

With a few days to spare after saying goodbye to Kat and Nush, I decided to head to the small country of Brunei in Borneo. I caught a flight from KL with Air Asia and made it safe in the end but it was the worst flight of my life! Firstly, straight after take-off, there was a strange clunk sound and the plan stopped ascending. That didn't reassure me a whole lot but the majority of the flight was fine. But as we came over Borneo, was hit a thunder storm causing t...
