Hot diggity dog darn gosh molly, how nice it was to be back in civilized territory again after three long months in South East Asia! It's nice and interesting (and frustrating...) to travel through Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos but being a Westerner I gotta have me some of that civilized crap that's being offered by Western society. Good for me that Singapore is a SEA:n city/country that can give me just that. I'm totally biased after my travels through SEA but boy is Singapore a happenin' city! A perfect SimCity combo of cool buildings and green areas. I think it's even cooler than the major Australian cities. Some idiot (maybe in Lonely Planet?) said it's too clean... Uhhmm... What? What a mouthbreather! I wonder if he/she enjoys shit stains in his/her underwear aswell. Unfortunately all this ... read more

Singapore is the exact opposite to India, the place is so clean and so tidy and all the sky scrapers are incredible!! We had 36 hours in singapore so decided just to wander about and get a feel of the place, the prices were a big shock after india, £15 for two beers!!!!!! saying that it was worth it just because the toilets are so clean!!! Everything is in giant shopping malls, i was very well behaved and only bought a fridge magnet, the bags are already way too heavy!!! I wussed out of going on the singapore flyer and decided to save my nerves for the petronas towers!! Hope the snow has subsided a little and all is good in the uk, thinking of you all lots x x x x x x ... read more

So sad were we to leave Koh Lanta that we have been unable to blog for several days. The week we spent there was our favourite week of the trip so far, and I would happily move there tomorrow and live out my days doing Poi on the beach and playing pool with the locals. While in paradise we spent most of our days lying on the beach and practicing Poi, and taking a daily walk into town to visit the tailor who was making my silk dress (I bet you can't guess which Becki this is...). Whilst in town each day we visited an extremely friendly local street food vendor called 'More' (almostly definitely spelt wrongly) and ate delicious dishes that cost about 50p each. The afternoons were spent relaxing and recovering from the hot ... read more

So after Phuket we went back across to Koh Samui to meet up with mick and Lorna. When we got back we realised that they got caught up in the Bangkok troubles and therefore got held up for 2 days. when they finally arrived we rented out a car for the day....... read more

Thought it was about time for me to add a little entry since it's far too hot to do anything else. Apologies for my apauling spelling and grammar! We've had to book our own flights up to Hanoi on Sunday as our only other choice would've been to either fly back home or to a military base camp just outside of Bangkok!....thought my mum wouldn't appreciate me choosing the latter option so we did our own thing which has probably worked out for the best (and we've got a few more free nights in our posh hotel). Been exploring Singapore a bit more, had a look along Orchard Road where all the posh shops are, wondered up to little India, (and even managed to leave without Nic having a curry) and then onto the night safari ... read more
