Hi everybody! sorry about the delay in writing a new post. so much to catch up on. after kuala lumpur i headed to CAMERON HIGHLANDS (north central malaysia). it rained the whole time, but did some amazing treks through the jungles amd met some aborigionals which was fun. learnt how to fire blow darts aswell, decided to buy a small blow dart made in the forest by some local guy. after a few nights in the highlands we headed to an island off the east coast call PEHRINTIAN ISLAND. It was so tropical...like paradise and really quiet which was a good little break. we chilled there for a few days and then had an epic 26 hour journey to KHO PANGNAN IS THAILAND. I was there for 6 nights and went to the full moon party on the beach which was awsome. Im currently in KHO TAO an island north of kho pangnan. its sooo amazing here. doing some snorkling and went to a mui thai boxing fight last night. was really cool. ive got aso many photos to upload but the internet is too expensive here and too slow to upload so i will try and get them done asap. heading to bangkok soon and have to be out of Thailand in 2 weeks as our visa expires so were gunna go to cambodia from there. Hope everyone is well. i will keep u updated!!

Hi,

Arrived in Southeast asia...bit of a culture shock...and headig in to the unknown. Had an awsome first night. arrived at the hostel from the airport at around 9 30...10 mins later i met a guy from oz in my room and went out with him to meet his architect friend in singapore. she showed us round her architects office....and it was amazing. then she gave us a tour of the city...unfortunately i didnt have a camera. met two english guys (robby C and sam) who ive been with since my first day in singapore. went to china town...explored the city...then to Sentosa island for a day...had a swim...then went out. was quite interesting going out in an asian country. Had a singapore slinger (alcoholic coctail)...supposidly a thing u have to do. And we pretended it was my 28th birthday.....dont ask why!?

After a few days in singapore we decided to bus it to malaysia...we got a super vip bus to Kuala Lumpur (cost around 5 pounds) and took about 8 hours. Been in kuala lumpur for a couple days now...seems an interesting city...though not much to do. not sure where were heading next. probably an island or the coast north malaysia. still having an amazing time....

And portsmouth knocked man uout of the fa cup. Im extatic. watched it in a hostel with a load of man u fans. if i can get a ticket for the final if we get there im gunna get a flight back just to watch it....no way do iwanna miss out on the chance of a life time.....play up pompey. haha!

Its a sad day as i have to say good bye to oz. had an amzing time...but good times ahead for southeast asia....did hear some disturbing news from some traveller that some tourists have had been beheaded in southern thailand....whether thats true or not i have no idea. hah...i dont believe it personally. looking forward to treking throughasia for 3 months. Gunna be in singapore for about 5 days. then busing through the border to malasia penisular....gunna stay in melaka, Kuala lumpar and Ipoh i rekon and then bus it to the souther border of thailand and explore a fre of the islands. not a definate route yet but at least i have a rough idea of what i wanna do. possibly change as i travel through and meet other travellers. my next flight will be from bangkok to osaka (japan) which is now on th 20th of may. gives me a couple weeks in japan...had to cut it short due to money constraints.

Havent been doing too much since i last spoke...trying to stick to a tight budget which is proving difficult as australia is alot more expensive than england. stayed on magnetic island for 3 nights whcih is just off townsville. such an awsome hostel there, though i have 1 days of sun and two days of rain which sucked. then went straight to cairns where ive been hanging out with 3 awsome canadian guys (yep more...seems to be full of them here) travelled around cairns with them for about 4 days.

I think im gunna get a job in an architects firm in canada next year. ive got so many friends there now and they all rekon i should go there and stay with them. thought why not...would ve good fun and extra work/travel experience at the same time.

Flew back to brisbane yesterday and here for 2 nights. hostel is pretty awful...didnt sleep much cuz of the bed and noise..oh well...cant imagine its gunna get much better in asia. staying in a hostle in a place called 'little india' in singapore. only 5 pounds a nighht..so way cheper as its 15 pounds a night in australia for accomodation.

Anyways ive rambbled on enough. keep u posted on my journey through asia.
