Spent a week in Singapore. Luckily invited over for pre-new job presentations. Met some people I will be working with and got to orientate my self around the city. Still need to find the right property. Will be back late November

A great day at Batu caves. Sarah and I took the LRT to KL sentral, then the KTM Komuter train to batu Caves. Really easy! The total journey cost 5 ringgits each £1.
