                    <description>19th  23rd OctoberHong KongWe caught our flight from Beijing to Shenzen in China. The airport in Beijing was an old army base and Terry was a bit worried I had booked some cheap airline which I had that would be dangerous. The airline was the only one to fly out from this airport so it wasnt busy at all only took 15 minutes to check in and go through security. First time since India they </description>

                    <description>14th  18thOctober 2012Beijing We arrived in Beijing after a great night sleep. The nearest subway was a good 10 minute walk away so off we trot. The public transport system is not as extensive as Shanghai was but it was still cheap 10p on the bus to anywhere and 20p on the tube regardless of distance. We had prebooked our hotel which makes this 3rd part of travelling a lot easier without havi</description>

                    <description>XianWe caught a sleeper train from Shanghai to Xian. We were hoping to book all our train tickets that we needed in Shanghai but were told we could only book 3 days in advance so we have not yet booked our Beijing to Hong Kong train as yet so this could cause some worries if they are fully booked. However nothing we can do about it so we booked ourselves on the hard sleeper class. There are 3 clas</description>

We really enjoyed working in Melbourne and both managed to get great jobs to do with our careers which will help when we return to England at Christmas. So we said goodbye to our work colleagues house mate and friends and made our way to Melbourne Airport. We just booked cheap flights to Sh</description>

                    <description>BaliIt was only a couple of hours from Singapore to fly to Kuta Bali. We were couchsurfing once again with an American guy called Tai who was living and working in Bali. He advised us to get a taxi to his place from the taxi counter prepay as we would be less likely to be ripped off by the taxi touts  ah here we go again...So he was correct of course as soon as we paid our 25 visa fee and pro</description>

                    <description>040312 Singapore The next day we caught the bus to Singapore for RM19pp  4. We wanted a bus to take us all the way into the centre of Singapore but they were all full. Melaka is a big destination for people from Singapore especially on a weekend unfortunately we were making our trip on a Sunday. Therefore we caught a bus to the Malaysian Singapore border where we then had a buy our ticket t</description>

It worked out cheaper then catching taxis to the local bus stations and getting the buses there. The two mini vans were not as cramped as we have been used to and the driving not as crazy so it was quite pleasant. We arrived in Penang which is a large island North East of Malaysia late i</description>

The country of Burma is closer with their border cross at Ranong but it had hassle written all over it for example you have to catch a long tail boat across the water from Thailand to the Burma border which </description>

The bus was very old and the seats were in a uncomfortable recline position that could not be adjusted but it got us to Poipet on the border with Thailand. Here we were instructed to get off the bus walk through immigration before embarking on a different bus once in Thailand. They gave us all red stickers to wear that were instead</description>

Nice journey as the bus was not full and had air con. The drivers assistant came around asking for every foreigners passport plus 25 for the visa. This was 5 more expensive then getting the visa ourselves at the border. Terry asked why the e</description>

Meant to be colder then Hanoi but I looked on the web and temperatures seemed similar at around 1015c which we could handle I am sure. We had booked the cheapest sleeper compartment on the train possible which is the top bunks in the hard sleeper section. 6 bunk beds in one lockable ro</description>

On the evening of the 26th we were picked up from our hotel in Vientienne Laos and taken to the bus terminal ready for our gruelling 24ish hour journey North Easterly direction to the capital city of Hanoi. The bus ticket cost around 35 USD each but was a lot cheaper then flying to we decided to go for it. Once at the station we </description>

                    <description>Laos is renowned for being laid back which is a good thing sometimes but can be annoying. If you want to catch a bus anywhere no one ever knows the exact time it will leave it just depends when the driver wants to go. We just turn up early at a bus station and at some point it will normally depart that morning. When we were coming back from Nong Khiaw to Luang Prabang we filled up the 12 seater </description>

                    <description>Luang PrabangWe got off the boat at the docking station and walked up into the town. Even though we have the guide book with us which has a map of the area you still not sure where you are going or where the good budget places are so always a bit of a chore as do not want to commit to the first place you have seen in case there are better places for a better price. Some tactics Terry and I have us</description>

                    <description>On the 10th we tried to take a public bus direct from Chiang Mai to the border town of Chiang Khong ready to cross over into Laos the next day. We had missed the morning bus with a 4 hour wait for the next direct bus. We decided to jump on a bus to Chiang Rai and from there hopefully find another bus we could catch for Chiang Khong. The bus journey was pretty uneventful and in Chiang Rai we jumped</description>
