Top Tip!! Book a lower berth in the centre of the train, you dont get woken by people opening the joining carraige doors and there is more room, as there is nowhere to put your luggage and have to sleep with it.
On the trip I meet Iqbal and his wife who offer me some Kentucky fried chicken, there were really good to me and they have offered to take me to Malacca on my return to Singapore.
He is a businessman and owns 3 business's which he now rents out so to give them time to travel, his wife is a top Tupperware sales woman and won many free trips around the world. They are proud to tell me they are millionaires !!
Very poor beginning's working hard and have been married 35 years, and on there way to a 3 day wedding.
They bless my trip and give me there phone number, what a lovely couple.
I manage to get some broken sleep and wake up in butterworth exhuasted an hour late at 6.00am
