I had waited forever for the plane to take off. Take off it did…and early! The flight was smooth and long (and non-stop! Go American Airlines!) I woke up around 2 AM my time to discover that I had two hours yet to go. I landed in London. While we were landing, my fellow seatmate Read More »
I planned to do a lot today as I mentioned yesterday. However when 9:00 AM came around my body would have none of it. I quickly pressed, what I thought was snooze, the button and didn’t wake until 12:30 PM. Hao and I ate at a sandwich place on Borough High Street for 3 pounds Read More »
It was so tough to leave Pengadaran, even tougher because it meant that we needed to get back on the god awful train. And it was god awful, as before. Luckily, it was only 4 hours, so we survived. Barely… lol I can say that I was honestly a little concerned to be going to Read More »

Day 4 Our mutual decision was that the time had come to leave Phuket to find something a little quieter than this bustling tourist hub. It was unbelievably hot, so we took a Tuk Tuk to the bus terminal in Phuket city (Not much to see there) and a 1st class bus to Krabi, around Read More »
Our ship took us to Rhodes, another Greek island, for the day. Found an internet cafe that was really nice except there were about 10 pigeons in the vent making really creepy coo-ing noises. They were playing some normal music that we hear back home. On the boat they like to play really old music from the Read More »
