On Friday night, we went out with Karen and her friends. First stop was the Penny Black, where we met honourary Scouser, Black Sugar (or Black Scouser as he likes to be known!), who thought we were the bee's knees cos we were from Liverpool! The Penny Black is the official place where Liverpool fans in Singapore meet to watch the matches, so felt right at home. Then we went to a restaurant to try black pepper crab and chilli crab - very messy, but soooo w...

We have arrived in Singapore, our final stop in South-East Asia before we head off to Oz. We're officially the unluckiest travellers in the west, cos it was lashing down when we arrived - must have brought the bad weather with us. Got a taxi to Anna's Aunty Karen's house, where we're staying, we've officially adopted her as our favourite aunty in Asia! She's been really kind putting us up here and won't let us pay for anything - honest Mums, we've tried!! ...

We spent most of the afternoon in the most beautiful mall in the world - full of Gucci, Chanel and general sexy shoe shops that are still makin us smile now! You have no idea of t...

However, travel agents in Phuket aren't exactly the most helpful people in the world and after having put off our departure by a day already, we found we cou...

This will be our last postcard from Thailand, as we're moving onto Malaysia tomorrow (buses permitting, so crap here!). We've just had our last supper in Thailand, chicken wings and pasta, very local to the culture! Since our last entry, we've moved to Patong beach, where we struggled to find a room, and have ended up staying in the gay quarter - didn't realise til we saw men walking round holding hands though! The sun also came out for a couple of d...
