Train to Singapore.
Finally! We were on the train to Singapore. No sleeper cars left, but we were able to get some seats that were in the midrange. This train was quite a bit nicer than the train we took while in Vietnam. It was fairly clean, seemed newer, had a whole separate dining car with several different types of snacks and treats available. Oh and the air-conditioning worked. Actually, it worked almost a little too well. I seriously thought it was going to snow in there. I had put on every possible layer of clothes I could, just to keep warm. I looked pretty ridiculous, but didn’t really care. The only other thing was that in this section of the train, they didn’t bother turning off the lights at night, so that was kind of a bummer at 2am, when I was hoping to try and catch some extra zzz’s before we got to the big city. I was in and out, but I’m pretty sure Will didn’t sleep at all. Around 6am it started to get light and we could look out the window. Man a lot of Malaysia is covered in palm oil plantations. But slowly and slowly, we started to see a lot more buildings and houses, before we knew it, we were at the town of Johor, which is the last town before you cross the waterway into Singapore.
