Singapore is already history again. It was by now our third visit to Singapore, when we got back our

LandCruiser on September 21st. Unharmed and without any problems, it was released from its

"container-prison" to the road after nearly two months of being on high seas. Two days later, we left the

island- and city-country of Singapore via the causeway bridge to Johor Bahru.

 

Currently, we are in Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia. Like Singapore, now also Malaysia and soon

Thailand too, they are not new countries for us, because we visited them already between

October 1993 and March 1994 after we arrived from Australia and before we left for Oman to tour the

Middle East. This makes us now driving the distance of 1'200 miles to Bangkok faster than usual. What

surprises us up to now the most, is the incredible construction boom here within the last 12 years. This

concerns not only all kind of buildings (skyscrapers, government buildings, shopping malls, condominiums and

towers), but also the amazing creation of a huge highway system. We are going to stay a little longer in Kuala

Lumpur, because we are scanning now 1'400 selected slides to put them later online. With these pictures from

our first 12 years of travel we would like to make our website more interesting.

 

The peninsula of Malaysia will get soon its rainy season. It is very hot, humid and muggy and the rains are

increasing. On the other hand, the precipitations North of the 10th degree latitude are diminishing in

November, what will make by then our visit to the still unknown countries of Indochina more enjoyable.
