                    <title>The end of the road....</title>
                    <description>Our first full day in Tokyo was spent lazing around and doing laundry getting over the last week of early mornings train rides and sightseeing. As we didnt hear from Debbies Japanese friend on where to meet up  we headed over toThe National Museum of Emerging Science with Chris and Ross from our hostel where we mainly Angelo marvelled at the technology of the future. We took a stroll a</description>

                    <title>Short  Sweet Osaka</title>
                    <description>So we had one day left to explore Osaka and we decided to start it with a nice lie in. At 10.10am an old man knocked on our door to tell us we were supposed to have checked out by 10. Ooopsie So after a mad rush to get our stuff together we checked out got ourselves ready and stored our luggage. We  werent in the mood for sightseeing and so spent the afternoon walking around the Dotonbo</description>

                    <title>Nara </title>
                    <description>We decided to take another day trip and as Nara was only a 30 minute subway ride away thought we would go see what all the fuss was about. We walked along the main street to Naraken the park where most of the sights are located and first stopped off to see the five story pagoda. All around us were the towns no1 attraction  deer . There are hundreds of wild deer wondering around the town ha</description>

                    <title>History Lesson </title>
                    <description>Before we went to Hiroshima neither of us really knew anything about it. Ang knew a bit more from watching old war films but all we knew was that an atomic bomb was dropped and this ended the war between japan and the allies. We took a shinkansen from Osaka to Hiroshima which took 1.5 hours and were greeted by a beautiful blue sky scattered with fluffy white clouds  Great weather compared to th</description>

                    <description>We landed in Tokyo and made our way to our hostel with the help of some friendly locals and checked in to a dorm for the night. We spent the morning lazing around and sorting our bags out before taking a Shinkansen bullet train down to Kyoto  2.45 hours  We had booked ourselves into a traditional Japanese Ryokan for the night with sliding paper shutters and rollout mattresses for beds.

                    <description>We had another great train journey between Xian and Beijing. We spent the evening chatting to a Chinese girl who spoke good English and who was translating for us so we could chat with the guys in our compartment. The guys gave us each a dried fruit thing in a little packet Ang chewed on his and started sweating apparently they heat up your body and make you feel drunk. Deb has yet to try her</description>

                    <description>We were relieved when our train pulled in to Xian station around 11.30am and followed the crowd out to the exit where we found a guy from Xiangzimen hostel we had booked waiting for us. Our first thoughts of the hostel were very nice in an old traditional building and decorated in traditional Chinese style. On further inspection we found it not to be as nice as we had thought. The bathro</description>

                    <description>Our flight was delayed for an hour. The staff decided to dish out the food whilst we waited so when we got runway clearance there was a bit of a mad rush to clean away the rubbish. We landed in Pudong Airport and were greeted with the familiar stares of curiously by the Chinese. Possibly thinking why are these stupid tourists carrying so much luggage Wonder where they are going Etc Pudong airp</description>

                    <title>Welcome to Hong Kong </title>
                    <description>We stepped off the plane into a grey and rainy Hong Kong. We took a bus which had wifi  AMAZING into the city and found some rather expensive and truly horrid accommodation in Chung King Mansions. 15 a night for a tiled cupboard that feels like a toilet is apparently good value in HK. Once we had gotten over the shock of how much it was going to cost us to get our china visas we handed over</description>

                    <description>Our first full day back in KL was spent by the hotel pool. The Citrus hotel feels a bit like home to us now despite all the things that dont work weve stayed here longer than anywhere else on our travels In the evening we went to the cinema to see Captain America  which was a bit cheesy but we liked it  then took a walk around the Chow Kit market before dinner. The 8th was our last fu</description>

                    <description>The flight from KL was only 50 minutes but by the time we had checked in to the hotel and got ourselves sorted it was early evening. We decided to get ourselves into town and rode the Singapore flyer  like the London Eye but bigger  which provides amazing views over the city especially of the famous Marina Bay Sands hotel  the one with the boat on top. After dinner we wondered around the </description>

                    <description>We arrived in Sandakan around 10ish in the morning and we took a taxi to uncle tans base. We had our buffet lunch then were driven to the jetty where we took our long tail boat downstream on the river to the jungle camp. On the way we saw loads of birds a crocodile and lots of long tail macaques on the river bank. Fingers crossed for an Orang utanWe hopped off and were greeted by Lan the camp ma</description>

                    <title>KL round 1 </title>
                    <description>We arrived at Kuala Lumpur feeling rather exhausted but excited that tomorrow night Dad Deb and Jordan would be meeting us here We walked to Chinatown and after a lot of searching found the fern loft as recommended by backpackers we met in the Cameron Highlands and checked into our first dorm of the trip. We slept pretty much all afternoon and in the evening Jeff the guy who works at the host</description>

                    <title>Cameron Highlands</title>
                    <description>It was a relatively short but bumpy drive up into the Cameron highlands. We checked in to a basic hostel with shared bathrooms. It was early evening by the time we made it out again and we went for a curry before booking a tour for the morning.  Starting at 8.30am we were taken in old Land rovers to the highest point in the Cameron highlands where the view was. Not that great actually. Followin</description>

                    <description>The bus journey had felt reasonable quick but by the time we got to Georgetown it was 8pm. Before settling on Crystal Guesthouse we looked around some really grotty and overprices hotels accommodation here seems to be very different to Thailand  half the standard for double the priceWe nipped out for some takeaway food and came across the old Trafford burger stand and of course had to g</description>

                    <description>We were shown to our prebooked bungalow which for the price was pretty rubbish except for the tiny frog living under the sinkWe decided straight away that we didnt want to stay more than one night and so spent most of the day trying to find someone to take us further down south. We rented a motorbike and found a tour agent who booked us a bamboo bungalow at Kantiang Bay View resort a quie</description>

                    <title>Unfinished business in Bangkok</title>
                    <description>We settled on a really cheap room as we were only in Bangkok for one night. The tiny white tiled room was furnished with a double bed and a ceiling fan  minimalist.  After grabbing some much missed Pad Thai we decided to have an early night. Unfortunately the room was impossibly hot and the fan ridiculously noisy and so sleep never came. On the plus side this meant we were up and out early La</description>

                    <description>We  arrived in Battambang thoroughly knackered but managed to drag ourselves across the road for some dinner before bed. We arranged a tour for the morning  starting at 7am   We were picked up by Tong a 22 year old tuktuk driver who spoke good English and turned out to be much more knowledgeable than expected First we were headed for the Bamboo train and as we were the only people there had</description>

                    <title>Welcome to Angkor </title>
                    <description>We pulled into Siem Reap bus station around 8.30pm and took a tuktuk into town. We found a nice room for 11 ordered room service and slept. We had a late start the next morning  we had decided to give ourselves a day before tackling the temples. We took a stroll around the central market stopped for a passion fruit shake and then took a quick look at the old market which was much the same. </description>

                    <title>Rabbit Island</title>
                    <description>We were dropped off at Kep and straight away bought return boat tickets to Rabbit Island as well as bus tickets to Siem Reap for the day we were returning. We had around 40 minutes to kill so got some breakfast before a tuktuk came to take us to the jetty and then a boat to take us to the island. We quickly found ourselves a little hut on the beach for 5 a night  just a bed and mosquito net </description>
