Despite thoughts of Blighty already filling the mind of our intrepid traveller Mike as he nears the end of his epic journey, his adventures seem no less exciting – and ‘loving life in one of his favourite places on the trip’, he tells us of the wonders of Singapore,

“The amount of free things Singapore offers visitors and we have had a fairly hectic (not to mention sweaty!) past week and a bit in which we have drunk nothing but bought plenty of ridiculously cheap clothes.”

Thailand and the surrounding area had, by all accounts, seen ‘some of [the] best times’ – but ever moving on, Mike was on his way to Malaysia – offering some sage advice ‘wish people had told us how much cheaper Malaysia was going to be as we wouldn’t have bought clothes in Vietnam and Thailand.’

“Prangin Shopping Centre which was undoubtedly the best shopping centre I have ever been to in my life both in terms of price and stuff that was there. Pairs of trainers were generally around 10RMB (1.70pounds) although sizes were mostly too small for us”.
