Hi :)

Just a note stating that I’ll be away on a 2.5 week trip to Malaysia and Thailand.

I’ll look to see to some posts whilst abroad but if you haven’t already done so, feel free to follow my overseas escapades either on Twitter or via the Facebook fan page.

Oh, if you have any suggestions of places to check out whilst in Malaysia, please feel free to leave a comment.
