Have to get up early and change rooms, because for some reason they book people in to rooms and it is difficult to change it. Not that I can see where the difficulty is, but you know, whatever, I cart my stuff to the room next door. As my life is so hectic I decide to take a chill day. Just chatting to people in the hostel and playing some games. That is until I start to get hungry and then I have to venture out in to the world. Right down in to Chinatown, where ...

It also means that you do not wake up feeling terribly refreshed as it is almost if you are in the middle of a deep sleep due to the total darkness.

I grab some toast and a tea, because the coffee is one of these packs that has coffee, milk and sugar all inside, no thank you to the sweetness. So Tess, Sian and I head off It's a short walk to the train and then about 30mins to Batu Caves. The train is busy as you might expect, filled with many Indian's in traditional dress all coming to pay tribu...
