Yes, You May Travel From London To Singapore By Train 
Ever thought of travel from London to Singapore by train. Yes, it is possible, journey from  London to Singapore  traverses  16 countries, covers 19,500km and takes over 60 days without any hectic schedule, only 10% of the journey will be covered by sea/ road.  The rail line between Kars (Turkey) and Tbilisi (Georgia) is presently carrying only freight traffic so this part has to be covered by road ,and from Tbilisi to Baku part is covered by flight. And have to cross the Caspian Sea on board a freighter ferry.
The journey starts with the Eurostar, work through Europe from Paris to Istanbul, before crossing Turkey. From West Asia have to  cross into Central Asia via the Caspian Sea, and enter China from Kazakhstan. This trip features a well-worth-it detour to Lhasa, Tibet via the highest railway line in the world, before heading south down the Malay Peninsula to Singapore.
Whilst in this region trip one will have leisure ,  enjoy fun and of course sightseeing, there are days to see some of the major cities and sights on the route, including spending time in Istanbul, Tbilisi, Aralsk, Almaty and the Charyn Canyon, Urumqi, Lhasa, Kunming, Luang Prabang and Vientiane.
There are few tour operators who have designed this incredibly ambitious train  journey spanning in 60 days There is contingency time built into the itinerary so that it runs as smoothly as possible.If you have leisurely time and around £22,000 than this is a perfection train journey filled with loads of fun.

Recently I traveled to Indonesia and surprised to learn that culturally Indonesian are very close to us. Even their food has certain commonality. And interestingly I come to know that our very own Idli has its origin in Indonesia. Let us start with religion. Hindu and Budhist influences arrived in this archipelago much before birth of Jesus Christ. It is however unclear that how the cultural and spiritual ideas from India were diffused in the area. It appears that there had been regular trade links between southern part of India with Ceylon, Java, Sumatra, Bali as well as many other Islands in Indian as well as Pacific ocean. The traders from India brought their cultural, culinary and religious influences. Java legends refer to Saka-era, traced to 78 AD . Stories from the famous epic Mahabharat have been traced in Indonesian islands to the 1st century; whose versions mirror those found in southeast Indian peninsular region. The Javanese prose work Tantu Pagelaran of the 14th cent...

Elton John is my most favorite singer. He is a singer, songwriter, pianist and composer all rolled into one. In terms of sales, he is the fourth-best-selling music artist worldwide . In 1998, he was knighted by British Queen this got ‘Sir’ title, but for music lover like me whether he is Sir or not a Sir , it is immaterial. He has won heart of millions of music lovers, that is more important. These days I am living in Harrow Burroughs of London, Pinner is a part of it. Yesterday I was in Pinner Library and out of a conversation between two young ladies I come to know that this international rock sensation was born and brought up in this area only. I asked the ladies  about the details. Than they shared that he was born in house at 55, Pinner Hill Road in March 1947.

The boy was named Reginald Kenneth Dwight, and raised in the council house of his grandparents at 55, Pinn...
