So the flight from Brisbane to Singapore was one of the easiest i've had to do since travelling. Strange that a 7hr flight would've once seemed like a long flight to me but now seems quite short. I watched Ghost Town (good) and The Wrestler (good, but not as good as everyone is saying)on the flight. Got to singapore and got the MRT to Little INdia and found my hostel really easily. The hostel there was really nice. Small but clean and friendly. On my first day h...

Its that weird travelling dichotomy-you feel like you've just left home but when you think about where you've been so far you feel like you've been away for donkeys. Most days here consist of w...

ehhhhhhhhhhhhhh, cant remember where my last blog finished and i dont have my travel diary with me but i've had requests for a blog update (honestly, I have!) so i shall try my best. Melbourne? yeah think thats where i left off. I did the culture thing and went to the museums and art galleries.
