A long flight to Australia was made much better by the premium economy seat I was upgraded to randomly! Didna involve much more, just slightly more roomy and reclining a bit more, but when you're tired and fed up, it makes a lot of odds! Couldna get seats together unfortunately though. Arrived Brisbane at about half 6 and spent a while trying to figure out who it was that was meant to be picking wis up. Thankfully 5 minutes later Stewart appeared and introduced h...

Arrived in Singapore on Friday, kinda tired after the train ride. Found a hostel called the Grace Lodge, and booked in for the two nights. Ended up in wir first ever shared, mixed dorm! That was an experience! The dorm was full so spoke to plenty o people, but they were all a fair bit older than wis. No actually seen any travellers wir age yet, but might find some in Australia hopefully. Spent the first day visiting various places recommended by the Grace lod...

Strange moment when a lass, around about wir age, came up and asked to get her photo taken we wis. She told wis " You are so white, it's...

Been a very, very weird day.. Arrived in Butterworth station, Penang at about half 1 and were planning to hang around the station until wir next train at 11pm. But as soon as we'd sat down we were approached by a taxi driver who seemed to think it was a waste of a day and that we NEEDED to see Penang island. He spoke away telling wis how he does day tours for 250 ringgit (about £50) but that since we didna have a whole day we could pay less. We managed to persua...
