My girlfriend and I snucked out of Singapore to spend our New Year weekend at Telunas, which was another hour and a half away from nearby Batam.  Apart from lazing around a lot catching up on sleep and trying to fish with diced cuttlefish on a string (and failing miserably), the highlight of the trip Continue reading →
