Taiping War Cemetery - Bonus Mini Episode
Amongst thick jungle in Peninsular Malaysia lies Taiping War Cemetery. Here, 850 men are laid to rest after fighting against the Japanese during WWII and the Malaya emergency.
This is a different kind of video to our usual episodes. I didn't feel like this would fit with our usual VLOG episodes so I have published this one as a standalone video.

We are Adam and Lucia and we are a British couple that have quit our jobs to cycle from Singapore to the UK. We spent 2 years saving for a deposit for a house and decided that life is to short to spend our hard earned money on bricks. Instead, we are planning to spend this money on a life-changing experience and came up with the idea of a long bike trip. We flew to Singapore from the UK and started our return journey by bike on the 9 September 2018, Adam’s 30th birthday.
We think the journey will take 18 months but who knows. We will be taking it a day at a time.
