Pipapo, blah, blah, blah. I don’t have much battery left. Here are some pictures from Singapore and Penang (Malaysia):

Me doing backflip.

Old and young.

The Singapore metro trains are the most convinient way to get around the city.

This is a long exposure shot of Singapore city.

Penang by sunshine and Penang by rain.

Don't worry mom, I just hurt my knees. This happens all the time in Malaysia. What really made me worry was the fact that the bus driver didn't help anybody, after the crash he just sat outside and made some phone calls.

The durian is a very stinky fruit. Tastes like sweet onion, very creamy. Most asian people like it. However the smell is enormous and that's why it's not allowed to take this fruit to the metro.

Tousands of people living in one of these living blocks.

One of my favorite Penang street art paintings.

I've never seen a shopping center like this. The management of the mustafa shopping center doesn't care about supply and demand. Thousand of articles, everything you wish, you'll find it somewhere in this crowded and overwhelming center.

Summer break

This summer I’m going to travel around the world. Based on the idea one month one country, I’ll visit Thailand/Malaysia, Australia and America.

Here on my blog I want to share this experience with you. I’ll show you how I’ve planned this trip, what I’m going to take with me and finally share my most favourite pictures of this journey.

Let’s start with the planning. To keep my notes, documents and thoughts together, I’m using Microsofts OneNote, it’s the perfect tool for this kind of task as it’s very easy to handle and is able store any kind of note.

In addition I save important documents such as vouchers or IDs in my OneDrive online storage, in case my document will be lost or stolen I still can retrieve them online.

In OneNote I’ve made a timeline with the most important events, stops and flights:

Based on this table my travel agency booked the flights and events. I was amazed that they could book the flights without an exception according to my table, I didn’t even had to rewrite it once.

I recommend to book the flights half a year before the first flight, otherwise it’s getting more difficult for the travel agency to book the flights you’ve asked for.
