A 'FINE' city.
My main reason to be in Singapore was is to get my flight to Australia so I decided to stay a couple of days and see the city. It's an extremely expensive place, especially coming from Thailand and what not, so I was limited in what I could experience here. I spent a lot of time relaxing in the hostel which was great fun as a lot of people seemed …
Death by flipflop
For some reason I thought that Singapore was going to be hot and sunny. Perhaps I am jinxed. 20 minutes after heading out of hostel on day 1 I got drenched by rain. Well done Huk. I return to hostel for rain coat. Turns out that cagoule isn't that useful in this type of precipitation as bottom half still gets ridiculously wet. Falling over also …
How expensive
We caught the tube with our big suitcases to the bus station. We knew that our bus tickets were a little more expensive than what other people said you could get them for but we realised why when we got on board. Huge leather seats with foot rests and a TV on the back of the chair. We got water, juice, a vegetable samosa roll and a strawberry donut …
Slap up meal
We go our free breakfast that was included in the price of our 20 bed dorm! They had marmite, what a god send! After speaking to some British guys that had lived in Australia for a year we got some really good tips on where to go and what to do. It seemed to us that there wasn't a great deal to do in Singapore plus it seems really expensive …
Bye Bye India, Hello Singapore!
So the time came to leave the crazy, lovely, smelly, beautiful country that is India! Taking off from Delhi to go to Singapore was sad and exciting at the same time. We learned, felt, saw so much in India that it was quite overwhelming. So many memories to cherish forever... The 5 and a half hours flight to Singapore on Jet Airways was comfortable …

Awesome place to plan your trip from. Staff are licensed tour guides or ones to be. Nice common area with slow WIFI or fast (if you are willing to dish out $5/day), 30 minute free internet usage on their fast machines per day, pay-per-minute after that. Clean, decent breakfast, well managed. Bikes for rent, tickets for sale. Maps and brochures galore.
In some dorms you can't use the bathrooms/shower after people go to bed, because of the bad light and layout design. That's unfortunate, though you can use the bathrooms in the common area at those times. Not enough sockets in dorms, no personal lights. No wifi in rooms.
Quite the walk to MRT station, but ok to bike from.
Would recommend if you don't mind the above downsides.
