leaving malaysia, time in singapore, and entering indonesia

hello there.

after a wicked time meeting loads of people and bedbugs in KL i went to the historical malaysian town of malaka. there i didnt speak to anyone apart this one taiwanese guy - who i was rooming with - who kept wanting me to reassure him he didnt have AIDS after all the prozzies he slept with in thailand. he was so thrilled by this 99% good news that he gave me his compass after i told him i was intending to buy one. i was well chuffed.

in malaka i think i must have smashed the record for the number of museums anyone has visited in 48 hrs. i reckon about 10. including a stamp museum which i sneaked into and then proceeded to play the dumb tourist when he asked for my ticket, i scurried off sharphish.

next stop was singapore where i met loads of people again. went to parks, museums, the beach, an open top bus tour, a fountain show, the famous raffles hotel (where the singapore sling cocktail was invented - they wouldnt let me into the bar though cause apparantly flips flops, shorts, vest and a baseball cap isnt part of there 'dress code'), and i even went into a borders where i read all there football magazines.

just a few hours ago i arrived in my 11th and final country. i have exactly 22 days before i plan to return home on the 1st november - will book ticket next week. right, gonna eat and hopefully catch more transformers before my 28 hr boat ride to jakarta tomoz. would have been the same price to take the plane but wheres the fun in that?

love u all, garlen xox
