    Today I’m taking the luxurious Eastern & Oriental Express sleeper train across two countries from Singapore to Langkawi in Malaysia. Join me and Dad as we explore this stunning train. From the well appointed ensuite compartments, to the two restaurants onboard and the highlight of course… the outdoor observation car.
    I’ll also explain this trains fascinating past, as it’s not always been a sleeper train on this continent! This trip of course did not come cheap, however due to an unforeseen delay on the VSOE last summer, I was able to enjoy this trip for a lot less than you’d think! (I explain fully in the video).

      & the attention to detail…
      Set the camera down on the train station platform to film himself walking onto the train from behind. Go back out to get the camera & now place the camera inside the train & cut to the shot from in front of him walking onto the train. Very time consuming & takes a lot of patience!

      Yea, and a tiny bed, in Malaysia. I get as luxury goes up, the price goes up disproportionally. That’s fine, but this is just a bad deal. In Malaysia, you could hire a limousine, private driver, take the same route, however, dine in the finest restaurants along the way, and stay at the best rooms in the finest hotels, and pay less. I hope that price is just a marketing price, and it’s always on sale or something, because why pay it for a far worse experience then you can get elsewhere?

    Been waiting a while for new video upload. A good start to the day. 😊

    Really enjoy watching these videos during a cost of living crisis.
