The tour ended yesterday but most of us are staying on in Singapore for a couple of nights. 7 of us met and decided to do a sity bus sightseeing tour to see all the main sights.

It was very western, with every shop you can imagine (even a topshop!) and we definately got the retail therapy i...

Arrived in KL yesterday lunch time after another windy coach journey. Our hotel is right in the heart of China Town and the street of the night market which is nice and bustley but at the moment we are a bit sick of markets and street sellers trying to sell you fake stuff, so it feels a bit like we've seen it all before.
