Bali was great, we were there for about 6 days and we wished we stayed longer. The beaches weren’t as nice as Thailand but they had big waves and we got surfing lessons. We also did white water rafting, lots of shopping, a crazy waterpark, an island tour, more surfing, etc.

After Bali, I’m pretty certain the only other place we visited in Asia before heading back to Europe was Thailand again. We went for Songkran which is their new year and it was INSANE. Don’t make plans to go anywhere (except maybe the beach) and don’t wear nice clothes. Not only will you get soaked (it’s basically a gigantic water gun fight that EVERYONE participates in) you get covered in baby powder too. I still need to upload the pics from my waterproof camera. We also spent a few days in Phi Phi Islands which is seriously the BEST PLACE ON EARTH. They also had their own little version of the Full Moon Party which was lots of fun. Seriously, I loved it there. We went to Krabi for a few days after that, which isn’t a Phi Phi Island but it’s the Phi Phi district so it’s very similar. No roads, etc. Went rock climbing - real rock climbing! Explored caves, saw monkeys, etc etc.

Ok so, back to Europe. We finally got to actually spend a few days in London and we had a lot of fun - did Madame Tussaud’s, London Eye, saw Big Ben and Abbey Road, went to the movies, went to some pubs. Tried Fish and Chips which was sooo good. Very nice city.

Went back to Paris and saw the stuff we didn’t get to see first time around. Love it there too.

Then we went to Nice, France which isn’t so nice. The train ride was cool and very scenic and we got to see all parts of France.. the scenery was just like the little village in Beauty and the Beast lol.

Ok, so Nice. In Nice, we also visited Monte Carlo and Cannes. Honestly, this place looks JUST like Venice Beach in California. The only difference is, it’s filled with French assholes and you can’t have any fun unless you’re rich. A crepe and a coke cost almost $30. And yes..thats right I said it. French people are mean and rude! At least, a lot of them are. So this is one part of the trip I regret because we were here for a few days. It was cool to see once but never again. I’ll just go to California.

Thennn we spent 9 days in Italy which was so nice. The best food of the entire trip! We went to Venice, Florence, and Rome. We liked Venice the most. Rome the least. There was nothing special about Rome. I mean, if you’re going to Italy you gotta go to Rome to see the sights, but after that, well.. I wouldn’t go back. I’d go back to Venice and Florence. We also took a train for a day trip into Pisa to see the Leaning Tower.

Then I believe we went home. It was nice to be home for awhile. Well, it’s still nice, but I am having a little bit of trip nostalgia.

So now time for the next adventure… baby making! LOL we are workin’ on that one

Therefore, our morning was a little something like this scene..unfortunately it’s just the music ha but it’s the best I could find.

Singapore has a good bird park as well, so we went there. When buying our zoo tickets yesterday, it was very very cheap to add the Bird Park to it as well (same company) so we figured why not. Well, the bird park here was very nice also, and different. The other place in Malaysia was actually an aviary where a lot of the birds fly around freely , and this was more of just a bird zoo. We did some shopping afterwards on Orchard Road and that concluded our Singapore trip.

We went to the daytime zoo in the afternoon. They had all kinds of cool animals there. Once again, facebook pics are self explanatory (although as of right now, as I’m writing this, they haven’t been uploaded yet but they will be soon).

After dinner it was time to go to the nighttime zoo. First, we went on the nighttime safari. A safari at night. It was so spooky, lol. In fact, the entire zoo was spooky. It was in the middle of the forest, and it was so damn dark. There was spotlights on some of the animals so you can see them, but other than, totally dark. It was really neat, though, especially it was different types of animals..mostly nocturnal ones obviously..like hyenas, bats and owls. We left the night zoo at 10pm and headed back to the hotel.

You know what? I like Singapore even better than Malaysia. The scenery is very similar, the same mountains and stuff..although I would say in this aspect, Malaysia was still a bit nicer. But, Singapore’s city is much, much nicer. It’s extremely nice, in fact..and very very clean. From what I hear, they give ype insane penalities for littering. Selling gum is illegal because of the mess that it makes on sidewalks, so you won’t find it being sold ANYWHERE in Singapore. It’s legal to chew it if you brought it from another country, but if you’re flying in with large quantities of it, you will get in trouble. Finally, my landing card informed me that any type of drug trafficking, no exceptions, would result in the death penalty. Wow.

Orchard Road is the place to go in Singapore. It’s a huge road that has tons of shops, restaurants, bars and more. In fact, this road is said to have some of the best shopping in the world. It’s true. It’s almost overwhelming. But being the picky (and cheap) shopper I am, I didn’t have too much luck here, although I did get a few things.

Our hotel is very nice, and because they thought it was our honeymoon, haha (hey, you can have a honeymoon after 2 1/2 years of marriage..) we got our room upgraded for free the hotel is also right around the corner from Orchard Rd.

Well, the Bird Park was awesome, we both really enjoyed it. I’d say that it was much better than Parrot Jungle. I could go into more detail about it, but if you saw the pictures on facebook, then it’s pretty much self explanatory.

Afterwards, we went to Malyasia’s twin towers to take some pictures. We discovered that there was a huge mall in between the towers, and we went to go check it out. Now this was a good mall. After walking around there for awhile, the day was basically over and we headed back to the hotel.

I gotta say, Malaysia is a lot prettier than I thought it would be. Kuala Lumpur is about an hour drive from the airport. At first, there are just tons of tropical looking trees and huge mountains everywhere. Then, when you hit the city.. all of that remains still, but then there are just tons of skyscrapers everywhere. They even have their own twin towers here..which are said to be the largest buildings in the whole world.

Our hotel is extremely nice. Even better, it’s attached to a shopping mall. Today we walked around the mall, and unfortunately it sucks, but the food court has tons of options so thats cool. Tomorrow we have plans to visit the Kuala Lumpur bird park .. it’s the world’s largest aviary.

After spending some time watching the sunrise and taking lots of pics, we decided to head inside of Angkor Wat. The place is huge so even though a lot of people were there, they were all still mostly watching the sunrise so we pretty much had the place to ourselves. We explored for a while and then left. It was very impressive and cool to see.. I would say , made the Cambodia trip worth it. Although Cambodia in general was definitely a cool experience.

We went back to our hotel and it was still early, they had an awesome breakfast buffet that was complimentary so that was cool. Then we went back to our room and passed out lol.

The first thing I notice about Siem Reap is that it is nothing like Phnom Penh. In fact, it is so different, that you might think you are in another country. Although the poverty thing is still somewhat evident.. garbage, stray cows with their ribs popping out, etc. it is the complete opposite of a large city. It was just forest. Hardly any cars and not very many people, but a lot more tourists. So basically, Siem Reap consisted of tons and tons of forest… lots of temples, and a  few gift shops and hotels. THIS IS IT, Lol.

Our hotel was awesome. All our room was missing was a kitchen and it would have been a full sized apartment. We are here for 3 nights, yippie! They also thought it was our honeymoon lol so we got free cake.
