All right, all right...I know, but bare with me...Im catching up. But I have an excuse, I havent been in the highest of spirits lately, hence didnt feel like writing...as all that would come out would bore you guys to death. But Im feeling slightly...and I mean only slightly better, so here it goes...the journey out of Malaysia. Saying goodbye t...

After exploring Bondi Beach on my last day in Sydney, I flew to Singapore for the start of my next phase of the trip. This sort of marks the halfway point as my Australia explorations are over (for now) and there's a lot more to see although at a bit more hurried pace. Since my flight was with Singapore Airlines, as I looked out the window I was...

So on arrival in Singapore (again no map or guide book) I get a cab to Little India and get a dorm room in a place called Fragrance Hostel. Bizarrely, even little india is clean and tidy and the hostel was spotless (apart from the cockroach that was standing parrot style on the receptionists shoulder). It's already evening and I meet two girls i...

what an exhausting day! thought that all embassies where like you see on tv. as soon as you walk in, you're greeted like a long lost citizen, with everyone falling over to help you. it's definitely not like that. indian embassy was a joke. was there for hours. got there right before they opened. huge line to get in. then another huge line to get...

woke up this morning and wanted to leave singapore. esp. since i wasn't sure how long i'll now be on this island. soerin said he wanted to stay at the hostel for another day. told him to take over my night. told the hotel that he was going to take over my night. and ended up getting screwed the night fare i paid. in fact, i was so ******, i wrot...

came back into singapore on a hot bus. definitely different than my trip going to kl since it was quiet and i definitely felt hot all over now. the only thing good was that i didn't crawl underneath the brown sheets this time. but when i came back to sg, i did feel serendipity on my shoulders. my rat from hk fell off my bag when i was exchanging...

*sigh* *sad* It's not totally dead, just got a broken leg and can't walk. Something is wrong with the software or a chip or something, maybe the oppressive humidity of SE Asia finally got to it and it quit on me. It'll take pictures but not reliably, and only after a lot of coaxing so usually after the shot is already gone by. Also, I can't chan...

My hostel is in Little India, so I've got culture and color hitting me from the moment I step out the front door. The front desk guy, Benson, has backpacked across Asia several times and has lots of great advice. he recommended this little spot for a great cheap 'brekkie', so I went. And it was a great cheap brekkie spot, open air so I could wat...

Tomorrow is my last day in Singapore, I bought my train ticket to Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia and I leave Monday morning. It's a 6 hour train ride, but the train looks pretty plush and I splurged on first class. Hope you enjoy the photo highlights from today's adventure!

Changing countries again tomorrow. Singapore, maybe the smallest country ever, just a little island, has shown me it's highlights. I'm continuing north through Asia, and the next country up is Malaysia. I've decided to just hit Kuala Lumpur, the capital city, for two nights. Then continue north up to Thailand - which I'm really excited about. So...
