Hi all, Today i got up about 7am - not much choice as the dorm areas are pretty noisy and some people have slap foot. I met a girl at breakfast called megan who is also travelling on her own so i decided to tag along with her and an english couple to the batu caves, just north of the city. The batu caves are naturally spectacular but for some reason they have made it into a hindu temple and have strategically placed crazy hindu statues everwhere. We...

Hi all, Look, a picture of me!!! I'm in the process of uplading all my photos at the minute as i got a new camera. I've still got bangkok to do, and koh phi phi so you will have to just bear with me! Moved into a dorm room this morning to save pennies. Its not so bad, this hostel is super clean. I then headed to the petronas towers but when i got there they were booked up for the day so i couldn't go up for a look at the view. Will have a look tomor...

The scary winding roads and the silly truck drivers determined to over take on the bends was also quite spectacular (argh!). I had provisionally booked into a room ...

The cameron highlands are nothing overly special but they just seem so calm,clean, cool - and i got a really good sleep last night. Watched brokeback mountain and enjoyed the scenery (jake and heath, superb). Today i went on a wee tour. I went to a strawberry farm and tasted some malay jam -mmmm! Then went to a flower farm which would have been quite dull if it wasnt...

Hi all, Got the boat at 8 this morning back to the mainland. You will be glad to hear it wasn't a speedboat. The drivers made me sit on the top deck with them - because i'm on my own they all think i need a friend or need extra care. They smoked all the way over and by the time i got to the mainland i was gasping for air. All malay men smoke it seems. Got picked up by a nice air-conditioned minivan for the journey up to the highlands. I was sitting...
