We got to Singapore early afternoon, checked into our fancy hotel. Went out to look for a cash machine, but we couldn't find the one we had been directed to, so ended up somewhere random, though we did find cake! Went back to the hotel to get ready for going out that night. We left at 6.30 and went to this bar where apparently it was gothic night! They had set up a Mexican buffet for us, which was so nice. Some of the people on our tour set up a mini awards c...

We took a two hour bus trip to Melaka, which is a little fishing village. The place we are staying at is this massive house, which we really liked. We only had this afternoon and this evening here so we haven't done alot. By the time we got checked in we only had time to have lunch and then walk up a hill to a temple (and get an hour of sleep!) before dinner. For dinner we went to hawker stands, which was fun as it was authentic to Malaysia. I had pork ribs a...

We arrived at Kuala Lumpur late afternoon, and then headed straight out. We went to the Petronas towers, which were amazingly pretty from underneath, though we didn't go up them. We had dinner in the food court in the mall under the towers and then watched The Pursuit of Happyness at the cinema, which made both Kate and Debs cry but apparently seemed to have no effect on me. The next day we walked to have breakfast at the place suggested to us by our tour lea...

The weather there was alot cooler, it was strange to see everyone in trousers and jackets. All except me as I have no trousers with me - That was a bad plan. We had tea and scones in a tea shop (well actually I had chocolate cake and a milkshake but the plan was for tea and scones) and wandered around the town. In the evening we had a steamboat (whi...

Yesterday we had a 10 hour bus trip to get to Malaysia. We had a nightmare getting out of Thailand through immigration. Which makes absolutely no sense as we were leaving their country. During the drive from the border to Penang we watched the new James Bond film, which passed the time quite well. By the time we got to Penang it was almost dinner time. We had dinner at the Hawker stands, which is kinda like a food court with alot of traditional foods and I tried ...
