So here we are, Bangkok, the final destination after almost a year on the road... From Pattaya we jumped on a bus to Bangkok and had, once again, a near-death experience. The crazy drives flew in 140 km/hour, honking and overtaking from all sides whilst waving his fist to all bypassers. But we made it all the way in one piece and the funny thing is, that EVERYONE in BKK drive the same way. In a city that never sleeps and is on the move 24/7 this has a fantastic ...

Yapp, it's definitely a loooong time since the last entry. The thing is, we were waiting, hoping and wishing for some kind of positive experience before writing a blog entry....so far, after almost 1,5 month we haven't had any, and thus might as well update all of you. "Cash is King" - some wise man said, and this is Thailand in a nutcase for you. "You pay now" is the phrase that we have heard so many times we've lost count. Come, look, buy, doesn't matter what,...

Goergetown... where all the action is and we are loving it! After the beach and sun we hopped on a bus to get to the Western coast of the country, Penang island, Goergetown.

And it was dark! That's how it goes when you buy bus ...

The 6 weeks in Tioman flew by and we had the most awesome time: Anton become a pro at getting down coconuts from palm trees and chopping stuff with a giant machete: we're pretty decent at surfing now and and can catch waves on our own. Monika hasn't been bitten by anything in over a month (!!!): and a lot of new friendly faces that'll stick for a long time...Amazing time and after a lot of sad good-byes we set off to explore the rest of Malaysia. The start has b...

We made it! After a hot and exhausting week in Kuala Lumpur we got on a bus and 6 hours later we arrived to the Eastern side of the country. After some hassle and running we managed to get on the last boat to Pulau Tioman island and another 2,5 hours later we were in the middle of nowhere. Monkeys, snakes, crazy Malays on motorbikes and lazy turists laying under palm trees. The way it's supposed to be! Tioman is a fairly isolated island, you can only get h...
