... he found me another bus leaving straightaway. Why did he not do this in the first place?

Got into the centre and found the hostel where I was to stay. Very central and very nice and friendly people. The travel centre in KL is a brilliant place, not only architecturally but also for the information they provide. That evening they had a theatre performance of Fatima a traditional story.It was in Malay and set in olden times when there was a Sultan. There ...

... went smoothly, hopped off at Malaysian borders (stamp stamp) and got back on for 10 mins before being told to get off again - Singapore borders, An hour later, we made our way, officially, into Singapore only to discover we'd been abandoned at the border by our bus!!! It was now 7.30pm and we were getting hungry (and cranky) - we met a Canadian girl, Danielle, who was also on our bus and was stranded. After asking some incredibly friendly bus drivers ...

... up with him "downtown" he was walking around with Michelle, a Californian from Alameda. Small world. He took us to his favorite touristy place in the city, an old Dutch church up on the hill, St. Paul's. The church was mostly destroyed but its location is absolutely beautiful. You can see a good portion of the town, old Dutch buildings, what is left of a fort, and the harbor. We walked around a bit more and then Jimmy took us to a local specialty restaurant, Malaysian Satay ...

... countries. Looks a little like Uncle Fester with an Afro wig. Must have been in his forties and was now offering me his dinner.

So we arranged to meet in reception at 10am. Yeah right, like I'm gonna go anywhere with him!
10am came and he was waiting there, dressed in a white linen suit with shirt and tie and polished black shoes and carrying a large briefcase which was obviously brand new as it still had bits of plastic wrapping ...

Always bring an IPOD! When you can't sleep or your neighbor sleeping beside you in the mixed dorm is snoring, or you are on a plane and cant sleep... the IPOD will come to the rescue...keep it uploaded with your favorite songs and it will be sure to keep a smile on your face when you are truly just not interested in the real world.

Update on what we did in KL. Right here it goes. We were there for a good few nights and got up to a fair bit. First day we got there we had a bit of a wander round during the afternoon then in the evening we met up with more of daves family. The country is covered with them!!! We went out and got some food and then headed out on the town with his cousins. They took us to club called Zouk that was as good as under the twin towers. A good night was had by all.

Day after we met ...

... Even if their accents weren’t so bad, which they weren’t, their lack of vocal skills and cookie-cutter performance routine made it painful to watch. You could tell they had literally done this exact same show every single night for the past 5 years. Then to add insult to injury, the tipsy old white guys who decided to get fresh with the girls on stage made the whole scene even more nauseating. We watched with a half-amused, half-disgusted ...

... i should be ashamed but it's one of the best afternoons i've had in ages!! Was like being home!! On the way back we were ironically talking about how the pavements were not really any good and we saw a huge rat..we were then chatting away when i fell into a trench..I stood up straight away and felt fine until we all looked at my foot that was gushing with blood. Yeah..i managed to almost rip off my big toe nail..it looks like a zombie's toe..it's like black and blue and soooo disgusting ...
