Travel Life

.Late sleep in cause I didn't pass out till about one, Instagram and fb are accessible and I uploaded a bunch of photos. Totally forget everyone back home is on the computer and since I'm awake, why not catch up :p We Went to China town just around the corner on North canal Rd. And then left on a main road at the park area. After walking down past the Chinatown point, you get to the actual Chinatown which is seemingly more south China than the rest of actual China! I won't get into how well mannered and smiley people were, OR how much better the shops were than they are in actual China!!?? Does China just make awesome things to give themselves a good wrap and send them to awesome places you wouldn't think to look because well you didn't go to another country to see the culture of another a different country necessarily., but for people who do, they must think like wow!!! This is what they have here? What must they have in their own country, I'm not going to spoi...

Arriving in kuala Lumpar at 10pm at night (after taking a cheap can ride into Chinatown for our hostel) we were ready to have a first drink of ice cold sodas in KL.  We stayed at a great little hostel called the fern loft in which offered toast breakfast and had a 14$ bunk a night charge in a 24 person dorm. The coffee they gave was uhhhh well, water really, but free, is free? The bathrooms were clean and if they broke, they were fixed quickly. The wifi worked fast when you could get it but the best thing to do is to just use the birdneat guesthouse wifi (no problems and easy password to crack) it is birdnest :p The first night was spent at elements western food restaurant and we were welcomed with open arms to spend ridiculous amounts of money of cheap beer and greasy food. Guess that's a common thing among travellers. We ventured as much through the area we were staying in as we could without getting too far and too lost. We were chased by the most vicious looking cockroach and i...

When traveling around the world you are going to be seeing a lot of things and meeting tons of people. A lot of what you see is certainly well unique especially dependingn on where you stay and spend time. The people you meet at times are very much apart of the tourist traveller experience. Last night a colourful American "war veteran" of the quite young age and a big head (that is actually quite small compared to his body) basically confused my ability to put my foot in my mouth and be nice to being a soft push over...punk, some war veteran, where's the injury? Tats? No? Not very high ranking? Maybe spranged ankle injury? *cough* infantry *cough* I wanted to drop knowledge and tell him off but when you are in a loft with someone who seems mentally unstable and a bit drunk, the last thing you want to do is get into a scuffle that could lead to someone getting thrown off a balcony...I'm not the one who could or would do that as I'm pretty short :p Anyways,...

Where to begin, we landed in a pleasant airport (changi) and then caught a pretty cheap cab ride into a tourist district. We stayed at the BLISSFULLOFT on Hong Kong road which instantly brought me back to Hong Kong mentality. Everything I loved about Hong Kong was magnified by a million here in Singapore. Singapore is a city state, when flying in, no matter the time of the night, you can see the city lights outlining the beautiful view of the city, and the elegant spider web created by the well light main highways. The city spans over majority of the are with constant developments. For a less congested city style visit, you can ferry over to the island that is vast and green as you peer at it from the observation deck on the Singapore skywalk. Nothing says metropolitan like Singapore's population. The urban cores are well mixed sand are consumed by "sky scratchers" that are hotels and office buildings, beautiful to look at but other than that, used to form the more collec...

Landed, after a long and tiring morning if doing nothing and waiting. I don't understand why I have been so tired, but thinking about it, the preparation for the trip and preparing the end of the school semester until the holiday is over, has been a large reason for so much energy consuming activities.  First thing is first, find the cabs, hotel, and food. There is no chewing gum and smoking or large annoyances allowed in public. Drunk singing and regular Chinese etiquette will probably get us in copious amounts of trouble here, be respectful and be careful as in many places.  Things to possibly check out so far: -night safari -fountain of youth The fountain of wealth actually has the water flowing Inwards towards the sculpture because water is seen as luck, so instead of having the water flow outwards likely classic fountains.  Need to do currency exchange as well cause everyone needs to have cash on hand in foreign countries! Never know. -CB
