As I packed my bag for the last time on our trip I thought back to every other time I had stuffed my socks down the side of the bag and just shoved everything in. I made sure all the delicate things were wrapped extra well as we would be going on several ...
Chinatown and Raffles
... shells on the floor and then crunch your way through them as you walk out - a very strange (and probably British) custom. So that's Singapore done and dusted - very appealing, but I wish it had been a bit cooler and I will come back if I have a lottery ...
Singapore Zoo, Jurong Bird Park + Night Safari
... at 6pm when the bird park closed. I really enjoyed the Zoo and would really recommend that people visit if they are in Singapore. Apparently Monday is the quietest day and first thing in the morning there was hardly anybody around, so I had the place ...
Formula 1
I had not planned to attend F1 because I researched online for tickets and they were extrememly expensive ($300+). Some people would buy tickets for the entire weekend, which was three days, then sell their first day ticket since there are only practice ...
Changi Airport
Sitting in the airport in Singapore, waiting for my flight to Bali. I'm like, 3 hours early. At least there is free internet in this place. I'm sad I had to say goodbye to my new friends! Donna and Garry (from New Zealand and the UK) and I have been ...
Singapore!
... days and not writing on here, I am writing this from an internet cafe in Jakarta! I arrived early on Saturday morning to Singapore's beautiful airport, had another wild goose chase as I couldn't work out where my pre-booked airport bus left from, a ...
Disneyland with the death penalty
That's how someone called Singapore, Disneyland with the death penalty, and the contradiction within that sentence is very true for life here. Why is this perfection ugly? Can people only be happy when they have something to complain about? We already had ...
Riding the Asian Tiger
... this month is the month when Hell's gates are opening according to Chinese tradition. This means that in very many corners of Singapore you find people burning stuff in buckets or bins. This to please the ghosts that are hanging around at night... They ...
2 new Wheelers in the world
This is so strange, when we got in the cab on the way back from the airport to our hotel here in Singapore there was a magazine in the back of the seat pocket called "just 2 Wheelers". The twins were born today in Leamington on a very special day, the 8th ...
Now we're travelling!!!
... some air conditioning! Sunday 4th December 2005 We got up this morning at 9.30 am after another lie in and went sightseeing Singapore!!! We purchased the CityBuzz ticket for $5 each (about 1 pound sixty) for the whole day allowing us to hop and ...
Real characters
... pulled her cheeks down into the largest frown that had about as much chance of turning into a smile as snowing in Singapore. Once we introduced ourselves, her ever powerful frown relaxed slightly into a look of utter bemusement while her cheeks flapped ...
The End (or is it just the start?)
... around 15:30 then a quick dash with Lewis Hamilton driving the minibus to the Dee Andaman Hotel, our overnight stay in Krabi. Flew to Singapore today arriving at 14:10, 30 minutes early only to find that our flight to Heathrow (due to depart at 23:05) is ...
Singing in Singapore
... were therefore quite sad to say goodbye to everyone and leave the efficient, clean, modern and occasionally ostentatious ex-pat existence in Singapore behind and clamber onto the plane for Kota Kinabalu in Borneo on our own. The next time we see Paddy and ...
Day 3
... reasons~!! Rosie also got into trouble for loitering while waiting for lewis to come out the toilets!! We tyhen went on the singapore flyer! Where we had a green screen photo taken, we went along the harbour to see the merlion but quickly retreated when ...
We have lift off
... this particular flight. Three movies (Cedar Rapids, Win Win and half of Lincoln) and a bad nap later, we touched down in Singapore at 10.30pm. My next flight isn't until 7.20am and is with another airline, at another terminal and so will require me ...
Myanmar to Singapore
... to UK band, The Prodigy, who we happened to bump into during our brief hurrah in the overpriced hedonist hangout of Singapore. Keith and the boys were impressed enough to give us complimentary tickets to their gig last Tuesday and even promised to ...
Singapore – Didn’t exactly go to plan!
... best of time in Singapore for the 2 days that I was there – for various reasons that will be explained. Landing in Singapore, I was amazed at how quickly I got my bag and through customs and out the door. It must have been with 15mins ...
Singapore
So I made it here to Singapore and landed at 7:10am after no sleep since early the previous morning!! Got to my hostel which is pretty basic and far too quiet, but is fairly clean, and is somewhere to lay my head! Met another lone female ...
Instant singapore
... a "Singapore for Dummies" instant tour..What can I say about this place? It's basically super-clean, efficient, and expensive. Basically, Singapore is like an "Asia-lite", and reminds me a lot of Dubai. Worth spending a couple of days here just to sample ...
A Quick Stop in Singapore
... too short. We thought only a few days would give us a feel of the place, which it did, but it wasn't enough. I LOVED Singapore through and through. You may be noticing a theme in my travelouges that I tend to have some random experiences that are usually ...
rules rules rules but great skyline and food
... least 2 brewskis! I took a great pulled pork sandwich an Extra IPA and Oatmeal Stout. Now for anyone that came from a western city Singapore would not be that exciting, but for a couple who came from Darwin Australia, Singapore had a lot going for it! We ...
Singapore Slings, Raffles and all that jazz....
... and I noticed tensions with China were being reported in yesterday's, 'Times Strait'. Interestingly, China and Singapore to a lesser extent, both strong arm their own citizens and routinely execute the deviants but it doesn't stop ...
La cittą pił pulita che io abbia mai visitato
Per fortuna che ha Singapore ci torniamo...non ci ha impressionato un gran che forse la stanchezza, forse il fatto che abbiamo sprecato il giorno buono per visitarla a trovare un modo per passare il confine....Insomma sapremo essere pił obiettivi, per ...
Do I look like royalty?
... that I shared a room with meaning that the total cost for me was about £3! Sad to leave Bali but very excited about Singapore. I treated myself to a bit of luxury and stayed at the airport hotel. My room overlooked the runway so I was in ...
Singapore shopping
... have a camera, along with a MP3 player for Philski and a portable DVD player ! (yes - we got carried away with Singapore electronic cheapness !). Philski woke this morning in searing pain as his back had seized up overnight, joy! But never fear this is ...
From Darwin to Singapore by Qantas
Singapore. The last stop in my explorations. After writing the last entry I sorted myself out with accommodation in Singapore (oops! left that a bit late), acquired some suitable currency, sent yet another parcel home - all my souvenirs will be 2 ...
