Singapore and Malaysia
Tuesday, August 22nd, 2006Here are the details on my Singapore and Malaysia trip which starts tomorrow! I’m flying into Singapore on the 23rd and spending a few days with Leon (who’s studying at NUS). I’m then going to Malaysia to visit Purdue friends. I’ll take an overnight bus from Singapore to northern Malaysia, then take an overnight train back to Kuala Lumpur for the Malaysian Independence Day. Here’s a Quicktime VR of the sleeper train from Butterworth back to Kuala Lumpur (approx $21 USD). The next morning I’ll take a bus back to Singapore.
This bus is crazy (see above), check out these features:
- only 16 seats on the entire bus
- personal LCD monitors with on demand movies and video games
- on board steward (drinks, food, reading material, etc.)
- massage chair
All for about $25 USD, not bad. I’ll get back to Singapore Thursday afternoon and then fly back to HK the same day. I’ll post details from the trip when I get back.
