... morning and took the bus to singapore it took ages to do the boarder crossing cause the guy read every page of my passport asked me if i was from the UK 5 times and then wanted to discuss football and how arsenal r gonna do next season i dont care i just want a stamp and to go through !!!! and he did this with all 12 of us so it took forever.

... on the side of the road. We drove for some of the way along the Murray River, you couldn't believe that such an oasis and so much water could occur in such a harsh environment, and it made a really pleasant change of scenery. All around the main town - Mildura on the river, were vineyards, olive groves and orange and lemon farms, a real strange sight to see after all that desert. We practically free wheeled into Broken Hill not realising that our petrol gauge took a long while to ...

... dann auch direkt mal eine Fledermaus in unserem Zimmer besucht :-)! Also Luxus ist das nicht gerade, aber irgendwie lustig und abendteuerlich! Das Klima ist ähnlich wie in Singapur, ebenfalls sehr heiß, aber nicht ganz so feuchte Luft (aber immerhin noch 80-90%!). Dafür mehr Sonne und eben um so heißer. Am ersten Nachmittag erkunden wir die Stadt und genießen zum ersten Mal die malaiische Küche! So etwas kann man sich gar nicht vorstellen: ÜBERALL ...

... farm and a golf course, among others. <br> <br> One of the most interesting spots that we were able to see while in town is the Mini Malaysia and Mini ASEAN Park. The sprawling complex features 13 life-size replicas of Malaysia's traditional houses typically found in each state as well as a cultural village where you can see the ...

... gas" when eating the local food, and said goodbye in about 80 languages. A true nutcase. Of some interest were the numerous monitor lizards which live wild along the river. At nearly 6ft from nose to tail they make quite an interesting sight up close (I should point out that we did not get that close). After a couple of days, we caught the bus to Singapore and said goodbye to Malaysia.

... dimly lit street late one night and happened upon a guy pulling dozens of pigs off the back of a truck and hacking them into pieces with an axe. He stopped and looked at us and we stopped and looked at him. No one said anything. Then we walked off into the night. I've been having the weirdest dreams I've had in a long time. Oh and I'm loving the way things are written how they're said. Example: to ...

... out and catching up on each others' travels. It was really wonderful to see them again. Twice in recent days I'd fallen into long, interesting conversation with backpackers, knowing that they would leave the following morning and I'd never see them again. I was becoming weary of this aspect of vagabonding, so spending time with Pawel and Magda was a real tonic, reminding me that not everyone I've met has disappeared into the fog.

... up for Karaokee and showed us all the words. After they break they came right out and started playing Bon Jovi. Kay jumped up and ran to the stage as if Jon were right there and started dancing along. We moved the party inside and started to sing along with the band. A few songs later they asked if we wanted to get up and sing. No way us you must be kidding. Fearless Murray went up first and sang 3 Beatles tunes with me singing backup on "she's got ...

... if the skewers aren't enough, you can grab a plate of 100-year eggs or some bread to dip into the chunky sauce. As an added bonus, our waitress brought out 2 skewers of giant prawns, which took an additional 5 minutes to cook, but were the same ridiculous price. We waddled our way back home. A bit farther away, but well worth the trip, was the eating plaza in the Portuguese Settlement. The settlement is actually a neighborhood of ...

... Centre, the Stadhuys which is the Dutch word for City Hall. They have converted it into a number of museums of Malaysian history and literature which a really good. Saw the Dutch/British governor's residence, and St Paul's Chapel where St Francis Xavier was buried. The red Christ Church which was closed was next on the list, and then over the bridge to the Chinese part of town. Everything was ...
