Christie Home safely - check ;) HAPPY CHRISTMAS X X X

Stan And so, the end is near... It reads as though it has been the experience of a lifetime. We're so glad you've enjoyed it. Just come home safely..

Ewan Awesome diving story!!!

Christie 'have you tried turnin it off and turnin it back on again?' or computer says no. cough.

Stan Hey, great to have you back blogging. I can only assume it was technical problems, rather than disinterest in your many avid readers, that has kept you quiet for a few weeks

Nico Coola boola babe! Have a good one!

Christie Ha - my ones needed to go to the hospital too so couldnt take me back to the city too! They didnt give me too much grief about dropping me at the train station tho, that sounds even worse, u poor thing. Its sucks so bad that its ruining travellers impression of KL. Oh well Im a big believer in Karma, theyll get whats coming to them. Where u off to next? Oh well we wont make the same mistake again!! ;)

Rachel Hi Just reading your blog as I was trying to see who else hating KL! The same thing happened to me with the blackjack scam! But with me their little sister was going to be a nurse in London could I come and reassure their elderly mum. They were really nice and I tried to get out of going but they said I'd be 20 mins and they'd bring me back to KLCC and their mum would be so pleased. So stupid me got in the taxi with them. The uncle worked in Genting at the casino there and again it was the back room off the kitchen! I bet it was the same people but they give different names to different people. Luckilly I didn't have any money either and once he gave me the $200 I clicked that I'd read about something like this and I'd lose the money and have to pay them back somehow. I said I had to go to the bathroom and took my bag with me. I also said I didn't want to play anymore. They said that they would take me back but they had to visit their mum in hospital so couldn't take me back to KLCC but they only said this once I was in the car and I didn't know where we were going! I demanded to be taken to the train station and they did take me there but tried to get me to give them some petrol money! I didn't and I scarpered! I was so angry with myself for being so stupid and naive. It was my first day in Malaysia too and put me right off. I'm glad to read that it wsn't just me! Glad you got out ok too.

Christie G'day! :D You know I get a real kick outta saying that to people as I pass them by. Especially the Aussies, I think it freaks them out "Why did that Pommie say..." SO GLAD TO BE HERE IN AUSTRALIA! Expect some happy clappy blog entries soon :) The most recent photo album is best viewed as a slideshow, you can get a feel for the swing bridge, the wind in the palms and the people milling around.. Believe it or not Ive not been drinking much yet. Thats what you get for going camping with GIRLS. Rubbish! xx

stan G'day. Glad to hear you're in Oz again. What's the local lager? Parcel has arrived - I'm collecting it tonight. x

stan Well done that you got out of there, although slapped head for getting drawn into it in the first place. .. Looks like the website mentioned by Ewan should be compulsory reading for all travellers..

Christie I need to have a good old read of that website I think - thanks! Yeah, very scary to think I couldve been sucked in proper. Oh well, its all part of the experience I suppose!

Ewan Good to get out of there, Christie. It was an pure scam. http://www.bangkokscams.com/scams-in-bangkok/blackjack-scam.html The next thing they will have done is to give you 21 and the other guy 20. And then say they ran out of money to lend you and ask for your cash to make the difference in betting. After winning that hand, they will soon make you lose all the money (both "lended" and your own money).

Sal Have bought your surprise "Limited Edition" Terry's Chocolate Orange for your stocking today - CHRISTMAS MUST BE A-COMING! Love Mxxx PS Sorry but it's time you knew that I'm Santa!!

Sal My texts haven't been getting thru last couple days SO YOU LEAVE ME NO CHOICE! Trust you are safely out of that rat-infested place & didn't have to pay for it! Of course, you will be paying that little bit more @ Kyla & Rich's but it's spotless (except the bit behind the cooker where Mad Max the hamster lived for a while!). If you can get UK TV where you are, try & catch up on THE FAMILY (l/nite C4 9PM). I was so fascinated I watched it thru twice! Met baby Evie on Mon, dear wee thing, & Jess looking TERRIFIC! Ru back to your fighting weight yet, as Greg used to say? LOL Mxxx
