Ok so after leaving Indonesia we decided to swing through Singapore on our way to Cambodia, which turned out to be an excellent decision because we met up with friends Maibritt and Mark, who live in Singapore and were able to host us as well as show us a good time. We worked with MB in HK and we had met Mark before, and they had offered to host us during our stay in Singapore. MB had just arrived there a few days before us having quit Sylvan and moving to S...

Wow, Sorry everyone! Its been a long time since I've updated this blog, and my apologies for that. We have done a lot of traveling in the last 2 weeks and for much of it have not had quality internet access, but now we have finally made it to Bali so I'll attempt to backtrack and fill in the missing parts.
