After Singapore i plan to make my way through Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, cambodia and Malaysia, any other country on the way will be a bonus and then on to New zealand.. plan to do a bit of work there to keep me sane. Anyway will do me best to add photos and a few words about places as i go along which ur welcome to have a look at. Cheers
