Relaxing, trains and Chinese New Year
After the museum the next day I just chilled out in Kuala Lumpur and read the excellent book Absolute Power. This is about an American president who has rough sex with a woman which goes too far and she lands up dead. The problem is that there is a witness; a three times convicted burgler [...]

Ipoh and Singapore Zoo
On my last day in Singapore before I caught the overnight train to Ipoh I went to Singapore Zoo. It takes quite a while to get to the zoo, taking almost an hour from the railway station where I was buying my ticket out of the country, but it is quite out of the way [...]

The HSBC treewalk and more
On Tuesday after I left off I headed to the Asian civilization museum. This was quite interesting and had lots of exhibits but it didn’t really hold my attention. This is probably because their technology which made the museum more interactive didn’t really work very well. It was supposed to recognize your ticket to personalise [...]

Singapore and Milk
Note that the next three posts are all new today as I managed to grab some WiFi to get them online. So leaving India early to go to Singapore was always going to be a bit of a paradox for me. Leaving the place I was looking forward to most to go to the place [...]

Arrived in Singapore
I arrived in Singapore this morning from Chennai. I didn’t get much sleep for the past couple of nights so this morning I’ve been resting. I have to admit I liked Chennai more than Delhi; it was a far more laid back city. I’ll post more later as I don’t have much time online now [...]
