To Singapore in Style
I’m sure some of you have noticed that I don’t add specific hotel or store names to any of my posts. It’s in large part due to the fact that none of these places are paying me to advertise and I don’t think omitting names bears any weight on the delivery of a great story. If anyone would like to know specific names or anything that I have mentioned I will be more than happy to tell you in a private email.
Ok now that all of that is out of the way. Continue reading
KL is bananas! B-A-N-A-N-A-S
..and not in a good way. I had already been warned that Kuala Lumpur was going to be a tad bit overwhelming. Especially coming from a quiet island. Being in Perhentian and Penang I almost forgot how hectic it can be to be a tourist in a ridiculously touristy place. Continue reading

CHIA MY NEW CHINESE AUNTIE FROM MALAYSIA
Chia and I (Excuse my "Allergy Eyes")

We chatted for a while and since the bus was taking so long she offered to take me on a walk around the area to show me around and give me some pointers on how to navigate around the city.

Where I lay my head in Penang
Thanks to my Dora the Explorer skills and the map I printed out at the last minute I managed to find my hostel with no problem. I walked there with this british chick who was on my bus from the airport and was headed in the same direction to her hotel. She was reaching the end of 10 months of travel through Indonesia and Malaysia and was apparently celebrating by toking on the joint she lit while we were walking. Continue reading
