Hi all! It's a stuffy 35 degrees here in KL, how hot is it back home now? Has it finally cooled down yet? Last night i didn't get any sleep - again. This big (in the nicest possible way) singaporean girl arrived in our dorm at 1.30 am. She wasn't pleased about getting a top bunk and asked how she would get up there and to be honest, I wondered how too! Eventually after much huffing and puffing she made it onto the top bunk and then switched the ligh...

Hi all, Today i got up about 7am - not much choice as the dorm areas are pretty noisy and some people have slap foot. I met a girl at breakfast called megan who is also travelling on her own so i decided to tag along with her and an english couple to the batu caves, just north of the city. The batu caves are naturally spectacular but for some reason they have made it into a hindu temple and have strategically placed crazy hindu statues everwhere. We...

Hi all, Look, a picture of me!!! I'm in the process of uplading all my photos at the minute as i got a new camera. I've still got bangkok to do, and koh phi phi so you will have to just bear with me!

I then headed to the petronas towers but when i got there they were booked up for the day so i couldn't go up for a look at the view. Will have a look tomor...

Hi all, Im in Kuala Lumpur now. Got a lift with the honeymooners this morning. They were really kind to give me a free lift plus they weren't too lovey dovey! Some of the rainforest scenery on the way down from the highlands was really spectacular, miles and miles and miles of the stuff. The scary winding roads and the silly truck drivers determined to over take on the bends was also quite spectacular (argh!). I had provisionally booked into a room ...

Hi all! feeling probably the most chilled out i've been since i started travelling. The cameron highlands are nothing overly special but they just seem so calm,clean, cool - and i got a really good sleep last night. Watched brokeback mountain and enjoyed the scenery (jake and heath, superb). Today i went on a wee tour. I went to a strawberry farm and tasted some malay jam -mmmm! Then went to a flower farm which would have been quite dull if it wasnt...
