I'm now 2 days in to my Melbourne trip & it has been fantastic catching up with my friend Jimmy from back home. Like a true gent he picked me up from the airport which was relatively seamless considering my lack of mobile technology. He took me straight to Pineoak Street (aka Ramsay St off neighbours).

The blue mountains gets it's name because of its blue appearance; i...

My final night in Singapore was sleepless thanks to what I can only describe as a hippo sleeping in the bunk next to me. His snoring was the worst I've ever heard as it ripped through the protective barrier of my ear plugs! 5am soon arrived and it was time for me to get up & showered. Just as I went into the kitchen to pick up my complimentary toast, there was a sizeable rat sat staring at the bread. Any normal person would just walk on & get breakfast el...
