( flooding Jakarta)
After a quick flight from Malaysia we arrived in Jakarta, Indonesia...what a change! Just to clarify we took a bus out of Singapore (~2hrs) and went back to a border town in Malaysia to catch our flight, because it worked out much cheaper...and Dave likes to save!
Last week the street we were walking down this afternoon was a river, a tour agent we spoke to had to take the boat to work. Beautiful now though, beautiful is a term I apply loosely. Every computer I try and use here seems to shut down on me, so it may take some time to update the blog with photos.
Singapore was a lovely city, why we went from the cleanest city in the world to one of the dirtiest, I'll never know. Singapore was a whirlwind visit of museums, scanning local architecture, sculptures and taking some time to relax at Changi Beach park and in our neighbourhood Kampung Glam. We met up with a friend we'd met back in Pai and got to experience our first Sting Ray tasting. Hold up there dolphin huggers, Singapore wouldn't allow anything endangered to be served. It's pretty tasty and easy to eat.
Tomorrow we're going on a Jakarta city tour, just because it isn't an easily accessible city if you haven't a clue how transport works. Indonesia is going to be the old game of taking a chance and hoping it pans out. Stressful, but sometimes very rewarding!

Hi there guys, it's great to see new pictures and read about your adventures and experiences!
We are toughening it out here with a lot of snow still and pretty cold temperatures...
