This is a photo of KL, not Melaka. Have been here two days checking out the Muesums and history here. Really is a fascinating place. Has been controlled by the Portguese, Ducth, British and the Japenese. Walking around the historical square you could easily mistake it for somewhere like Amsterdam with the red buildings and flowers everywhere. Sitting in a restaurant you could easily be somewhere in India, as there are so many Indians here (Due to Britain en...

Well an add on to my planned trip, but am really glad i've made it here. I am staying in a church (i know who'd of thought it) and have really taken to this place. I spent Thursday making my way around the extensive and fascinating muesums here. Firday i took a trip to the Rehabilitation Centre that has semi-wild Organ-utans.

With the coldness, the rain and the tea and home made scones, it really did remind me of home! We took a 5 hour trek one day with Yen a longterm gu...

It was like something about off a fairy tale, although the children there were something out of a nightmare, constantly screaming and tormenting the kittens. During our time at the park we did the canopy walk, which is the highest and longest in the world. It involved walking on planks of wood and ladde...

Have spent the last few days on the Small Perhentian Island on the Malaysian East Coast. Shared a beach hut with two wild amercian guys, Todd and Dave. We hired a boat to take us on a snorkelling trip one day (as we got up too late to take the organised trip) for two hours. The water was so clear and myself and Dave saw a massive fish, but we have no idea what it was. The boat then dropped us at the Fishermans village, where we had our daily portion of rice and t...
