Got up at a reasonable time to pop into the centre and get some more contact lenses……I think this turned out to be a costly and timely mistake.   Not sure how, but I lost track of time and ended rushing to get to Johor Airport in Malaysia to catch ... Read more >

Christmas, Malaysian Style

Sat, 20 Dec 2008 | By justin | Views [1479]

Today, a group of us hire a couple of cars to explore the islands.   The first point of call was to visit the cable car via the KFC (not one for going mad on western food but there are some things that can’t be helped).    We had to queue for an ... Read more >

Lazy Langkawi

Fri, 19 Dec 2008 | By jazz81 | Views [384]

I was not too sure how to react to Langkawi or if I would bother going at all,if an Island does not bother to even have public transport is it really worth going? But with Thailand purging us backpackers with crazy new visa rules my mind was made up.... Read more >

Borneo; Sepliok Orang-utang Sanctuary,
