Finally, after 6 weeks on the road, we reached our final destination, Singapore. Unfortunately i was only staying here for one night, so didn't get to see maybe as much as i'd like, but still had a good laugh! The hostel we stayed at was really cool and modern, with funky rooms and free internet! Always a bonus. In the evening we had to do the righful thing, and head down to the famous Raffles hotel for a Singapore Sling cocktail, however ridiculously expens...

And so we arrived in Kuala Lumpur, the sprawling modern metropolis that is the capital of Malaysia. This city is ceratinly a cut above all the others we've been to in terms of its westernization, and advanced culture! It felt so good when we got there, ad indulged in a pizza hit lunch, and found our first pint of Strongbow! Although it did cost over 4 quid! It tatsed bloody marvellous though.

Yes, if you've done the math, you will have gathered that it rained a bit on the island....but only in short thundery bursts, the rest of the time w...

Bangkok, is everything you'd expect it to be! Smelly, busy, crazy, cheap and full of atmospshere! Unfortunately, we didn't get to see an awful lot, cos we only had one free day, and that happened to be the King's birthday, so quite a lot was shut! So we decided to have a wander into the town centre and just experience it first hand. Khao San Rd is where it all kicks off, and is definately the place to go if you want to buy some knocked off designer goods.......
