    Exactly 4 months ago today we left the UK behind and began our journey across Asia. Today also marks our last full day in Malaysia as tomorrow we are getting the bus to Singapore. In Singapore we plan to post some gifts and souvenirs home that we have bought along the way, one to save on space but also in case anything isn't allowed into Australia. The strangest thing happened the other night when we arrived back at the hostel. We'd been talking about having to find a box to send things back in and then minutes later as we walk through the kitchen a guy is offering a girl a converse shoe box as a joke from the shoes he just bought. Sounding like a right weirdo I asked him if we could have his box so we now have a posting box for free! I spent this morning lining it with a cut up H&M bag and parcel tape to provide some protection to the contents from rain (I'm very proud of it so have included a photo). Nick spent his morning trying to log into student fiance but having forgotten his password to his hotmail account that he used to set it and hasn't used since he actually spent most of his time filling our security questions that they weren't happy with so he has to try again tomorrow. It was all a bit of a nightmare really and we did spend a lot of time trying to sort it. Upon giving up we sorted out what to send back home in our box which also meant a thorough reorganise of our bags. As a reward we watched an episode of a programme on YouTube and it wasn't until 4pm that we actually left the hostel. For our last night in Malaysia we had to end it how it began, with a Nandos! We walked to the mall and had a late lunch/early dinner before a little bit of shopping. We then caught a taxi to visit the Floating Mosque or Masjid Salet as it is formally named to watch the sunset. It was beautiful and not too crowded which was a great bonus. After watching the red coloured sun disappear we caught a taxi back to our area to discover a night market happening on the road near our hostel. We popped back to see how much our taxi tomorrow to the bus station should cost and then went to get a few bargains to use up the few small notes of money we had left. It was a really nice unexpected end to our last day here in Malaysia.もっと詳しく
