TRAVEL
Around
the World in 12 Issues
10. CHEESECAKE & WHISKEY
April
2003 - Singapore, Malaysia & Thailand
 Hello.
This will probably be the last issue of JAB produced on
the move. We bring this issue to you not long after the
last one because, as mentioned above, we intend to tuck
away Mr Benn while we toddle off to Laos, China, Vietnam
and Cambodia.
Last
issue we mentioned we were off to Singapore where we stayed
a couple of days, saw Raffles and avoided SARS, before
heading back to Malacca to pick up our handy Catch 22
travel safe which we had left behind.
Leaving
the heat we made it to the cool Cameron Highlands and
stuffed ourselves with steamboat, strawberries and cheesecake.
Rik, a pleasant and informative South African veteran
of over four years of continuous travel, persuaded us,
over a litre each of whiskey, to add southern China to
our itinerary and, after a brief stop in Bangkok, we are
now in Kanchanaburi on the river Kwai while we wait for
our visas.
The
famous bridge is still crawling with hundreds of Japanese
while the thousands of British, Dutch, Australasians and,
let's not forget, Asians that built the original bridges
lie dead in the immaculately kept graveyards in town.
 It
does feel like we are nearing the end of our travels but
we still have a lot to fit in, probably too much, that
we will tell you about next issue. That issue, I'll repeat
again, won't be sent until the end of May because our
bags are being lightened and the laptop is being put away
for a while.
Lastly,
the usual apology if you've got in touch with us and we
haven't got back to you. We've got some emails ready to
be sent but at last attempt they didn't go for some reason
so if they don't reach you in the next day or two they
won't go for another seven or eight weeks.
