Back in Singapore
This is a top pick! Well I'm back at the Inn Crowd where I ended my trip just 6 months ago. Not much has changed. Spent our first evening chilling out in a bar on big comfy beanbags, we were the only ones in there, so it was nice just to relax and catch up on all our ...

This is a top pick! Hey everyone, so we left Bangkok ok, delayed an hour and a half but after a few card games, we were rolling. So in conclusion of Bangkok: Really busy, so polluted, culture shock, cheap and need no longer than 3 days. But most of all it was an experience ...
swimming with sharks
This is a top pick! ... set up all over the city. I wandered to City Hall, St Andrew's Cathedral, Merlion Park, along the quays and into Chinatown. Singapore really is a clean city. Maybe a bit too sterile and every place is air-conditioned so it's a bit unnatural. Lots of ...
