In true Asia fashion, we arrived to Penang 3 hours later than we were told. We were also told we would be dropped on the Island via the bridge but in fact we had to catch the ferry. This ended up being a positive as it meant we got a good view of the built up Island and it only cost 70p for the two of us! After a bit of a trek with our bags we finally arrived at our hostel! First on the agenda was food as we had barely eaten a thing. This was easily available as...

Kuala Lumpur is an urban jungle of skyscrapers, shopping plaza's and posh hotels. But between the high rises, traditional Asia is very much present with markets selling everything from sari's to iPads and street food stalls bursting with Chinese, Indian and Malay flavours. As we do when we arrive to any new location, we found our hostel, dropped off our bags and headed in no real direction. After walking and not really getting anywhere we jumped on the monorail...

There was a magic show, live music and ...

At first sight we weren't that impressed by Phi Phi... However we soon found paradise! After a day of travel, we arrived at Phi Phi on Friday. That evening we ended up in the Reggae Bar. Which isn't reggae at all! Instead it is more of a boxing stadium, with a ring in the centre where drunk idiots get up and fight each other, as well as the odd Muay Thai professionals. Unfortunately the main beaches on Phi Phi are ruined from tourists and boats! Therefore on ou...
