The bus left at about 11am and would take about 5 hours to reach the highlands.So I purchased a 442 for the journey and caught up on some footy news.The journey was fairly relaxed until we arrived at the base of the highlands, the narrow winding roads lay ahead and the bus driver was soon in his element.Tackling the corners with the ferociousness of Colin McCrae, unfortunately without the rallying technology behind him, we as passengers were sent sliding across o...

After the trip back to KL, I checked back into the hostel and nestled down for the night.I was shattered and needed to be up early the next day to collect my Visa for India.But again, there was some information that I wasn't given.I was supposed to fly to Kolkata the following day and reached the Visa office for around 10am.I handed over the cash (RM100) and was expecting to receive the Visa form in my passport when I was told 'thank you sah, you're passport will...

The journey to Kuala Lumpur (KL from here on) was an easy one but unfortunately there was no A/C working or windows to open and travelling in Asia with no means of cooling down is anything but easy.But the scenery was beautiful and took my mind off the heat, as did the trusty Ipod.Harsh cliff faces neutralised by different tones of green as far as the eye could see.The beating Sun's rays occasionally highlighting bright coloured flowers, framed by the green aroun...
