Sorry For The Lack Of Updates, Been A Busy Bee!

With having to go to all the bbq’s, the beach, on nights out, golfing, the races, curry nights, Melbourne centre, the garden in the sun, the Irish bar, feeding the birds (bird man haha), 1000 steps, battering ginge, staying up to watch UTD  and looking for a job I haven’t had time to update the Blog!!!!

A380

If going to Australia for 6 months isn’t special enough, then the way we are getting there really is the cream on the cake! The A380 is the largest passenger plane that has ever been built!! One of the great pieces of engineering that is capable by us today! So large that only 20 airports in the world  can land the beast!

Shame they wouldn’t up grade us to business class but hey you can win them all!!

The End Of The Beginning!

So after nine weeks and one day the first section of our journey is over!! Southeast Asia has been a blast and I will be taking home memories that I will never forget. I will definitely be coming back to see the sights, smells and noises again!! After only 9 weeks we have experienced so much, that’s much in fact it would take too long to list here!

As the next part of our journey is about to begin I am sure that in 30 years’ time we will look back and say that we never regretted a minute of it!! 

So now it’s time to see what Aus has in store for us! Hopefully it will be even more eventful than the previous nine week!

The world is a book and not to travel is to read just a page!!

Singapore, The Millionaires City!!

We spent six days in total in Singapore with three of these days taken up mainly by the Grand Prix! We spent most of our time on Clarke quays or the marina front drinking the 7 and half quid pints of strongbow! This is another great city that we have had the privilege to visit! The sky scrappers lite up at night are just a view to look at while enjoying a beer! There is lots of things to keep you occupied and plenty of back packers who are just passing through to catch flights to there next destination on there travels!! The city has a great zoo and museum that you can visit and you could basically just spend a day walking round exploring in between the sky scrappers and the stalls in Chinatown!! It also a has a major casino where we tried our luck!! And you guessed it we still aren't millionaires!! We could of done with the luck of the Irish, Eamon where are you when we needed you!!!

With all that said the place is simply built for millionaires, everywhere you go the price is at least double the price of the UK!! Everyone is wearing suits on a night out and nearly all the cars are BMW or Mercedes!! If I had the money this would definitely one of the places I would have a roof top apartment!!






We visited the zoo on our last day there to see all the animals! They are famous for there white tigers and the its vast range of different animals. No polar bears though but plenty of penguins!!!!

We also eventually managed to meet up with one of the jocks from Aberdeen!! But he was posh and wanted to hang around with the Red Bull team!!

The Singapore F1 Race

So we finally made a decision that we would spend the extra money and go to the Singapore Grand Prix. After all it is the only night race that they have during in the season! We bought a weekend pass which allowed us three days entry to the racing circuit! Friday was just the practice laps after the cars has been rebuilt from there trip over. Saturday was a final practice session and then qualifying and in between these to was a performance from Shakira and her god damn fine arse and hips but anyway we was only there for the racing!! Obviously the Sunday was race day and afterwards Linkin Park were playing!

The race is one of the things that during our trip really makes it special! Seeing and hearing the cars was incredibly and the views that you have of the city at night where breath taking. Shame an English driver couldn't of won it for us but life not that perfect! A video below so you can see how the cars actually are and the noise of them!!

The Three Amigos, Three Wise Men, Three Muskateers, Harry Ron And Hermione, The Three Blinded Mice (After Beer) or Alvin Simone and Theodore, Chandler, Joey or Ross!!!!!

What ever you want to call us the woofpack is back together for the final leg of the south east Asia tour!!

The List Grows Ever Longer!!

8. Second Camera - just decided to stop working after a month!!
9. Mobile Phone - Think it was stolen in Melaka.

Pulua Tioman........Turtle Island

After dying with a hangover for 8 hours we finally arrived in Pulua Tioman which is famous for it's turtles nesting on the island and it's diving sites!! Most of the island you have to get to by 4 x 4 apart from a couple of beach resorts that they have!!

Where we stayed on the island was very basic but had a great chilled out feel about the place. There was only two bars on the stretch of beach but they were both good and there was plenty of other backpackers or divers to talk to! Plus the beer was 10 Ringit for three!! We spent 3 days here relaxing and just chilling on the beach with a beer!! Even though this is probably the most rural location we have been we still managed to find a tv for the utd vs leeds game haha!! Still not missed a game!


Pash spent most of time on the look out for Komodoo dragons after I explained that they could grow to 3 metres long and eaten humans before!! 

Scuba Sean.........

 A small congratulation to Sean Clarke getting his Padi certification in Koh Tao. So he can now dive with all the dangerous creatures that live in the sea in Aus!! A few pics of the boy in action!!

The Piss Up In Melaka!

So after having such a good time in KL we were moving on to a place called Melaka which was suppose to have a good nightlife and be full of back packers!! We spent our first night exploring round and finding out where to go!! We walked to the main area for bars which was about 20 minutes from our hostel, to find they where quiet and spread out all over the place!!

While exploring me and Pash became part of a scene out of Tokyo drift, all the cars but non of the women!!! Just playstation geeks really!! We walked right into a car cruise! We had a look round then told them to grow up and stop playing with cars!!

The second day was a messy and can only tell you it involved watching England rugby, Tottemham vs Liverpool then MAN UTD vs Chelsea!! The last thing I remember was the owner of the hostel bringing jug after jug celebrating Utd battering Chelsea and going top of the league!!!


I have to apologia to Mel the french girl staying in our dorm for the sudden downpour in the middle of the night and thank her for waking us up in time for our taxi!! 

How we got up for 7am the next day I don't know!! It's onto Pulau Tioman for three days for a chill out!!

Kuala Lumpur, What A Great City!!

Our Living Quarters!

So we arrived in Kuala Lumpur from Penang and spent the first few hours getting lost! And just to get us really down it was in the middle of a thunder storm! Just had to remember a bad day traveling is better than a good day in work, plus we got to know the city!!

We eventually found a great hostel called Reggae Mansion! Loads of backpackers, a roof top bar, it's own cinema and a great tandoori burger!!!

Roof Top Bar

We spent four days here exploring china town, the Petronas towers, the KL towers, local market and some of it's many super malls!! I would definitely recommend that everyone visits the Petronas towers at night, at least once in there lives!!

We met some good people while in KL and have actually convinced to lads to change there flights so they can go to the F1 in Singapore!! 6 days and counting!!!

Penang, The Old British Island!!

After the rural location of Langkawi we were looking forward to a more built up area with possibly a better nightlife!! After walking around for one hour we found a nice hostel with cost 25 Ringit a night and had everything we needed! The first night we found the strip which was big enough and had some really good bars but they were to quite!!! 

We spent the next day exploring the temples, the museum, the old fort and little India!! After finishing here we when to the shopping center where there is a tower called Komtar which has a 360 degree panoramic floor at the top!! after working our way through the shopping mall for an hour to find the entrance we found out it was shut!!!!

I have no photos of Penang as the second camera of my trip has now broke and won't be buying a new one til we get to Kuala Lumpur!!!
