... your feet dangled in the air and all of your weight sat on your ass, which soon became numb and cramped. And as for the timing being “perfect” according to the guy who sold us our bus ticket, guess what…the bus only took about 10 hours and it dumped us off at the ferry terminal at 4 AM instead of 6 AM, so we ended up waiting in the pitch-black dark while sketchy dudes on motorcycles tried to get us to “come to their travel agency and register for the first ferry ...

... s) [Rich: because the score was 4-4, and we hadn't seen it yet. Plus, I was enjoying the 'singing'? in the background too. I would like to mention that beer in Malaysia is expensive! min' is about RM7.50 for a small bottle! It was very amusing to see the waiting staff top up peoples drinks non-stop, one of which topped up a guys Tiger beer with Guiness! haha!], whilst I watched a succession of Malaysian singers and the peculiar tradition of crowd members paying the ...

I downloaded a few pages to my travel pod and had a cup of coffee. I wasn`t hungry from my feast last night so i got ready for the beach at Batu Ferringhi at the north of the island. I jumped onto the number 101 bus which took about half hour. I found a nice beach cafe right on the beach and decided to stay there all day.

(I later discovered that they are only about 4 blocks apart). Here is the conversation I had with the taxi driver: Taxi: Where is your boyfriend? Me: At home. Taxi: You like to drink drink? Me: No. Taxi: You like to smoke ...

... Chinese New Year celebrations go for a week - they could very well be firecrackers. We found a really cool expat & armed services bar called 'Hong Kong Bar' - the people that run it are very sweet and gave us bananas, peanuts, asked us to sign their guest book and took a photo of us for their wall.

... loads of cold sirap, a mound of deep fried banana and three big bowls of sup mee ayam with extra cili, easily one of the best clear soups I've ever tasted.
