“May the dreams of your past be the reality of your future”

Hi, I am Marta and I am from Poland. For the last 2 years I have been traveling around the world. I have been to Germany, Austria, Belgium, Italy, New Zealand (where I am currently living) and Australia. In just one month my boyfriend Jonathan and I are leaving on our trip across South East Asia. We are going to visit Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, China, Mongolia and Russia. Our destination is Poland - my homecountry.

The hotel staff is really friendly. We are staying at Mintraa in Little India. I really recommend this place. The very unusal thing for us is a combined bathroom with a toilet. Basically once you are having a shower you splash all water on the toilet. That can be quite hard. Our room is a 6 beds dorm. On our first day we went for a walk to Little India and Arab Street. We got lost at the beginning which was fun but finally we found our way. Little India and Arab Street were full of these little family stores, where people are actually working on the street and you can watch them while working. We went to Asian Civilization Museum and had a guided walk which was alright becuase the guide explained only the most ... read more

Asia » Singapore » Little India June 17th 2011

So our trip started from big delay. We probably should be happy that we took off at all. The whole week 13-17.06 wasnt happy foe the ones trying to get to Sinagpore or Australia. The volacano in Chile erupted and made flying quite hard. All Singapore flights from monday till wednesday were cancelled and Thursday flight was 10 hours late. On Thursday evening we got confirmation from JetStar that we are flying. On Friday once we got to the airport this wasnt sure at all. We had to wait 2 hours to find out if we actually were going to take off. Finally they informed us that we will. We went to check in and did all passport stuff and went to the lounch but poor jetstar staff called us 2 hours before the actual boarding ... read more

Damn volcanos especially the one in Chile. So we had a little bit of stress. We are flying with Jetstar and their Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday flights to Singapore were cancelled. But in the evening, just few hours ago they published info that they resume their flights from tomorrow on. So wooo hooo, our trip to Singapore is still on and there shouldnt be any changes in our journey :) One day left, our last day in New Zealand. Ah the chrzanione wulkany, zlwaszcza ten w Chile. No wiec przezlismy tzw stresa kiedy dowiedzielismy sie ze poniedzialkowe, wtorkowe i srodowe lot do Singapuru z Jetstar sa odwolane. Ale dobre wiesci dotarly do nas niedawno ze od jutra jetstar wznawia loty do Singaporu. Takze wycieczka jest w toku albo raczej bedzie w toku od piatku jak nasz ... read more

12 days left to our trip. We are both so excited but also little worried. We were informed that KL has become quite dangerous recently, apparently there are guys on motorbikes who splash acid on foreigners ;/ we are supposed to stay away from all motorbikes and have eyes wide open. Hopefully it wont that bad. We have got all our visas - finally. Our passports are now full of colourful stamps in all possible languages haha :) At the moment we are having our farewells and trying to organise stuff. The weather here in Auckland is pretty bad at the moment, I am so happy about the fact that just in 2 weeks we will be in northern hemisphere where there is summer now :) 12 dni zostalo do naszej wycieczki. Razem z Jonathanem jestesmy ... read more

After a long research I finally have found the perfect blog for me :) Starting from today on, I will be keeping you all readers updated regarding our big trip to Asia. The countdown really started its only 30 days left till our flight to Singapore. We are still waiting for 2 of our visas: Russian and Mongolian. Unfortunately Russian visa is quite a hassle and quite stressful to deal with. If you ever thought about going there re-think it, especially if you don’t have family over there. You need to prove everything in advance, place where you stay(also pay full amount for everything in ADVANCE!!) what you are planning to do and where, proves of all payments, voucher, confirmation etc. so yes it is not easy but I hope it will be worth the effort ... read more
