So, it was goodbye luxury hello scumville!!! Yep we were back to backpacker land and 2 meals a day which neither of us were very happy about! Singapore felt a bit strange, coz the folks had gone home and we were just waiting to move to Australia! We also stayed in our first dorm accomodation. As Singapore was expensive we were forced to stay in a 6 bed dorm with 2 Canadians and 2 Swedes, but they were nice apart from the swedes had to sleep in one bed (...

The big KL!!!!! Yes, after a week of being pampered BIG style in Langkawi, all four of us boarded the plane & flew in to KL. We arrived at yet another 5 star accommodation with another pool!!!!!!
