Walked into the city centre this morning to get my first ever greyhound bus of many. Was straightforward enough and they even played a movie even though I slept through most of that. Arrived in mission beach and was picked up by their bus driver, Matt who's from Devon. About a 5min drive from the bus station is south mission beach where I was staying and it looked like a really nice little place. In my room, I met a girl from London called Lucy who was doing a ...

There were two irish sisters on the boat and one of them had actually been on my plane to Australia so spoke to them two a little bit and then sat with two German girls.

So this was my one and only day in kuala lumpur and I had to pretty much head straight to the bus station. I had a cheeky little McDonald's, and needed it after being in Myanmar but it wasn't even that good. Then I found someone who sorted me a bus to Singapore; the bus had such amazing leg room compared to what I was used to, and I just slept a lot :) We stopped at the border and all had to go through customs, then I was officially in singapore and I quickly r...
