Colmar Tropicale, A French-Themed Resort Bentung

... see on the map that it wasn't too far. I asked at the information Kiosk in Central Market anyway, and the polite lady there said "It's only about a 15 minute walk from here."
Having made this journey, I can confirm that it is only a 15 minute walk from Central Market if you happen to be King Kong, with no desire to avoid roads, several trees, a railway station, a Mosque, and a few skyscrapers. The length of the walk is'nt the half of it - the difficulty ...

... They have free weights, but the selection would not test a 3 year old...or a 106 year old who's feeling weaker than average.
Also, the steam room did not exist anymore.
And 150 squid for 3 nights without even breakfast?? I felt cheated! I did titter at the fact that the safe in the room had a message on it saying "Articles deposited in this safe are at the guests risk." Not very safe then! Maybe they should call it a Possibly Safe...
I was tempted to sh*t on ...

... where the monks and students who staged protests against the tyrony of the government were imprisoned indefinetely or in many cases killed!!! It was an interesting and well made documentary (this is turning into a film review, haha), bringing attention to recent events I wasn't aware of. I watched several other screenings, spending a few hours here before meeting up with Sacha in KLCC. We got in the taxi, after Sacha had a lengthy ...

... I opted for the deep-freeze, but this also meant that I had to try and sleep through the noise the old aircon unit made, which I can only assume is what it sounds like to have several hundred cattle thundering around in a small space.

My booked flight back to Singapore isn't for another three nights, but screw that, I'm going back today. I've booked a coach ticket, the journey takes about 5 hours and cost about 15 pounds. Job done.

... shopping at the 24 hour Mustafa mall, we packed our bags to return to India. I had booked the airasia flight from Singapore to KL. Air asia is better than some of our full fare airline. 1 hour flight to KL. However, this lands in the LCCT terminal and not at KLIA. Though the runway is same for both these airports, the terminal buildings are connected ONLY by road. The journey via road is 20 kms ride. There are lots of buses plying apart from taxis. We took the bus for MYR 4 ...

And that bought about an end to Malaysia. We treated it more as a holiday than we have other destinations so far with plenty of time to relax – a holiday with in a holiday! We don’t feel we have seen much of the country however it was always a place that we had planned to come back to on holiday sometime so wanted to leave places to explore!

Here are the Photos.

Next stop Vietnam and the former Saigon - Ho Chi Minh City.

... a stroll down a calm, deserted street. I walked up
to the sister hostel of where I was staying, and met a dude with longer hair
like mine, a short billed ball cap, a backpack, and he was sitting on a chair
taking a few drags of a smog, waiting to check in. Unfortunately, the place
was closed, and I told him that there were plenty of rooms where I was staying.
We talked it up, hit it off, and walked down to the Sri Emas. He was a German
named ...

... cool because we got some decent views of the city. You can see how it once used to be covered in rainforests as there are still some remanants here and there on the outskirts. I was actually freezing from the AC so I was ready to get back outside to the warm air. The towers are definitly worth checking out and a must see at night time.

We rushed down to this sleepy town in hopes of Greg being able to recover and having a cheaper more luxury ...

... Tom came over and said that Chris had been taking photos elsewhere (failing to tell us that he was), and didn't want to join us in the parade. We joined the parade, but unfortunately not with the kind glow-stick guy that would have explained things to us and got us more involved in the celebrations. Christopher!!!!!! Tom and I followed the parade for about 2miles, walking with the Buddhists, and joining in the festivities. It was a great atmosphere, everyone seemed ...

As a traveler's rule, I don’t do simple fly-ins. I need to see some landscape, or how do I know that the place really exists? They could just fly me around in circles for two hours, then land at some theme park. How would I know the difference? This is the reason conspiracies among blogger-floggers can flourish. The path from the earth to the moon leaves no tracks nor traces, so difficult to prove or disprove. That’s the beauty of conspiracy- you can ...
