"People will forget what you said. People will forget what you did

But people will never forget how you made them feel" Maya Angelou

The same goes for the places we visit.  In years to come I may forget some of the things I did and the things I talked about, but I will always remember how I felt when I was there.

During my time in Asia there were people who looked after me and showed me the best time possible. It is the effort from these people and sharing my experiences with them that made it so wonderful.

After 6 nights in Singapore, we caught the bus over to Malaysia and spent the last few days and nights of my Asia Adventure in Malacca, with new friends - Mimi, Noh and Jeremy.

Road Trip to the beach

On Saturday we drove to the nearest beach and played there.  We decided to use this as a good opportunity to say thanks to those who made this trip possible.

In the evening we headed back to Malaysia and celebrated the last night of the Big Blog Exchange with two buckets of Asahi beers and a tower of coke. Fab!
