Hey hey. . . . Welcome from Malaysia. . . . More specifically Melaka. . . ! Well, I got out of Singapore on this very comfortable coach for my 5 hour journey to Melaka. I think it took less time than that, but hey, whatever?! So, after chatting with that Dutch girl the other day about Malaysia, I booked ahead for 2 nights accommodation at Travelers Lodge, however after spending the afternoon there, I don't think I would be needing 2 nights. . . ?

Hey hey. . . . Welcome from Asia. . . . ! Well, as you know I made it safe to Singapore after my long flights and have basically been taking it pretty easy over the weekend. . . .
