Finally it was time to leave Malaysia. We hopped on a bus for a 4.5 hour ride over the border.
I sat there listening to gangsta rap and watching the palm trees zoom by, thinking how strange it is that Australia is such a white country, when it feels so much like it should be part of the Asian continent proper. It sounds strange trying to describe it now, but if you replaced the palm plantations with sugar cane, the trip could’ve been through Queensland. Penang’s botanic gardens provoked Lili into joking, “Uh, sorry but this is just like Australia..”
Whatever.
We made it to Singapore and into 5 Star Luxury Accommodation in our ocean view suite. Awwwl right.
