Singapore, March 7-10, 2016 After I left Korea, I had the chance to travel through Singapore and Malaysia for a couple of weeks. I started the trip with four days and three nights in Singapore. The city center is compact, but nicely laid out. I greatly enjoyed walking the streets and eating some wonderful food—which was a treat all throughout both countries. The first full day in Singapore I started by exploring the Gardens by the Bay. The whole area is beautifully designed. I enjoyed the Cloud Forest—a dome that houses fauna from tropical rain forests. The walk from the top to the bottom of structure is nice. After the visiting the Cloud Forest, I headed over to the Supertree Grove and walked along the elevated walkway which provides amazing views of the city center. After ... read more

13th October - Kathmandu to Singapore Mia and I left Kathmandu for the airport in the morning for our 1pm flight. It took us much longer than expected due to the horrible weather - the rain was pelting down which was very unusual for Kathmandu at this time of year. Our flight arrived in Singapore around 8.30pm and we had a quick exit through customs and grabbed a cab for the 20 or so min journey to our home for the next 5 nights - 'Betel Box Backpackers' in Joo Chiat.

Plus I thought it'd be good for Mia to experience the backpacker way of travelling ... read more

23 March 2013 At 04h30 in the morning, sitting at KL LCC, after getting in after midnight thanks to that wonderful and almost never on time budget airline Air Asia, it is hard to get excited about going to Vietnam. Just a warning to fellow travellers, buy your taxi coupon before you exit the arrival hall or you will be f#*#ed. KL Low Cost terminal has become a nightmare. Transport syndicates prevent you from just catching a cab outside the door like you once could, and the place is so crowded now that even if you did get your coupon in the right place, you will stand in a very very long queue and taxis are not guaranteed even if you have the coupon. This terminal is horrible. Almost as bad as Manila. We have just ... read more

We both new that the toughest part of this trip was going to be saying goodbye to our family's. As we write this Shannon airport facilities are still mopping up the tears. Arrived into Heathrow without any glitches and for once we didn't have to go through the painful annoyance of "de da di da dee, Ryanair the best on time record" Thank you Aer Lingus. We were both like little kids looking forward to seeing the Airbus 380 that Robbie Hennessy has been going on about for the last few weeks. Jane was so excited that she trotted off into the gate without giving me my boarding card. It's either excitement or she is sick of me already. But we have to say the Airbus 380 with Singapore airlines is some machine. The pics don't ... read more
