Indonesia – Yogyakarta, Borobudur
25/07/16 Well what a big bag of disappointment! I woke up at 3am to get to the hill near Borobudur to see the sunrise over the temple, only to be greeted with a mass of fog. I was lucky though, because it only cost me 30,000rp to see the sunrise from the hill, and eventually … Continue reading Indonesia – Yogyakarta, Borobudur
Indonesia – Yogyakarta, Dancing and Prambanan
24/07/16 I tried my luck second time around to see the dancing show at the palace in the morning, I rushed out to make sure I was there by 10am only to be greeted by an empty stage. The show apparently starts at 11am, not 10am. So I took my seat at the front, because … Continue reading Indonesia – Yogyakarta, Dancing and Prambanan
Indonesia – Yogyakarta, Sultan’s palace, water castle & underground mosque
23/07/16 Getting my cultural hat back on, I proceeded to go to the palace first thing in the morning. I was told there was a special show on at Kraton which only happens at the weekend, and it starts at 10am.

Indonesia – Arriving in Yogyakarta & drag queens
22/07/16 It was finally time to say goodbye to Malaysia, after 5 weeks I feel completely rested and ready to experience some culture. Malaysia, while it has great food and beaches, lacks a certain je ne sais quoi in terms of culture. Sure, the street art was nice but it was drawn by a European! … Continue reading Indonesia – Arriving in Yogyakarta & drag queens
Malaysia – Penang, National park
20/07/16 As it was a really nice day and because I felt really lazy I decided to go to the national park and hike to the monkey beach. I took the bus 101 on Chulia street for 4rm and made sure to get a window seat. The journey took around 1 hour and it had … Continue reading Malaysia – Penang, National park
Malaysia – Penang Hill and street art
19/07/16 The morning started off pretty rainy, but I didn't let it stop me. I decided to check out all the street art which is found near the clan jetties, so with my map and poncho I set out. With the map it's easy to find all the amazing street art, but if I had … Continue reading Malaysia – Penang Hill and street art
Malaysia – Penang
18/07/16 I arrived at Penang bus station at 5.30am completely tired and disorientated. No idea on where I was and how I get to Georgetown. Luckily I found some fellow travellers who told me we were to wait for the public bus as it was only 2RM. This bus didn't come until 6am so I … Continue reading Malaysia – Penang

There's things that island life does to you: It relaxes you It disconnects you from the world You find peace of mind It makes you never want to leave It makes you lazy as hell Number 5 rang so true … Continue reading Malaysia – Lazing on Kapas Island
Malaysia – Kapas Island, jungle trek
13/07/16 To keep active I went on the jungle hike, at the top of the beach there is the longer hike to the other side. It was a typical jungle hike but I was wearing flip flops so it was extra slippery, especially because it had rained that morning. I saw so many huge insects … Continue reading Malaysia – Kapas Island, jungle trek
