Days 1-3, Malaysia

Howdy all,
Thanks for dropping by our tales of (hopefully not too boring) adventure. We'll try to keep them reasonably short and snappy.
So what have we been up to lately?
After struggling our way through a McLaren Vale Sea & Vines bus tour, a day that will be remembered for the messiness of the return trip -
Megan: Are you ok Scotty?
Scotty: It's all under control
Megan: You've just thrown up in your lap
Patrick: Dude, here a plastic bag to throw up in
Scotty: It's ok, I've got a wine glass
we took a fairly uneventful plane trip to Sinapore (thanks to those that backed up from the tour to see us off at the airport, you know who you are - PS Singapore Airlines is heaps sweeter than Qantas) and a fairly crazy bus trip into Johor Bahru (in Malaysia - if possible try to avoid rush hour, somewhere around 7:30ish, as the traffic is crazy and there is an apparent shortage of seatbelts in Malaysia, where taxi drivers drive at 90km/h without working speedometers and talk on mobile phones... not to mention creepy old men leering at Megan's singlet top), where we have spent the past day and a half. We have stayed in the hotel as we have been informed by several sources that if we leave the hotel it is quite likely that (a) Megan's purse will be snatched and (b) we will be taken on the most "scenic" tour possible to our destination. Not that it's hard to stay in a 5-star hotel when you are getting 2.7 Ringgit to the dollar and all you can eat Teppanyaki is about $40.

So that's about it so far, not a whole lot of excitement yet, except for the soccer/football last night (C'mon Aussies! How good is Tim Cahill?)
I really should have a power nap before staying up to watch France vs Switzerland and Brazil vs Croatia

Khoo
