... su encanto colonial mezclado con los rascacielos modernos.<br>Singapur es considerada la ciudad mas limpia y segura del mundo, os lo garantizo, es increible como lo tienen todo, vayas donde vayas, perfecto. Semejante limpieza y seguridad en la ciudad se ha conseguido y mantenido a costa de la libertad personal. Es llamada tambien la ciudad de las multas, ya que no se puede comer en la calle, mascar chicle, tirar papeles, escupir, cruzar en rojo ...

... believe the amount of different types of orchids in one place (please refer to photos). Helen is wondering why her orchid is not as big and healthy as those seen today!!! Food halls here are amazing...we tried shark which was pleasant.

... best in the world), and the Night Safari (a night-time zoo).<br><br>I caught the MRT to Little India to have a wander around &#8211; and it was here that I planned to jump on the bus hopper. Well, without thinking too much about it, I had arrived quite early and many places were still closed and there wasn&#8217;t much happening. Afterwards, I waited at the bus stop for awhile, before realizing I was an hour too early for the first bus! It was here that I ...

... where you can rent a bike for a mere 2$ a day. The group of us who travelled to the island all rented bikes, and toured around the island for the better half of the day. At one point I found myself going full force down a small path covered in jagged rocks- lets just say my journey to the bottom of the hill was not so graceful. I was launched off the bike and thrown into the bushes. When I got up I heard a high pitched squealing sound- there was a wild pig about 5 feet from me ...

... br>Rob joins the queue and I go on the internet again to let the hostel know of our new arrival time. I also say that we want to have three nights instead of the two I previously booked and we will arrive at about 3am. Five minutes later and a replay saying all ok!<br><br>Meal vouchers in hand, we head back to the food court to make use of our $20 each, then try to kill the time we have left to wait around, reading, Sudoku, DS Mario Kart etc. With ...

... Singapore in 2007, but to no avail. I was to learn this time that I&#8217;d been within 500m of the place, but at the time I&#8217;d been searching in extreme heat for 3 hours and had to end my attempts (since no-one locally could understand what I was looking for!). This time I was better equipped, as I&#8217;d found out what the school was now being used for. After a further bus ride after the MRT, I found myself walking down the original drive towards the school ...

... a fun night though!). Thanks gain Shan for helping us explore your city! [Rich: Thank you Shan!!]<br><br><br><br><br><br>Day Four:<br><br><br><br> On our last morning in Singapore, we tubed it (sans Chris who decided to go on the internet instead) to City Hall and wandered up to the very ornate Raffles Hotel: one of the city's most famous landmarks. We had a drink in the hotel's posh cafe, feeling very out of place particularly with the group behind us puffing away on cigars ...

Singapore. My gateway to China. I arrived yesterday in the afternoon. Flight was very convenient, no issues. Met Gustav at the Sembawang station, which is in the northern part of Singapore. I stay with Gustav and Junee. We went out to Clarke Quay, first to a place called "Crazy Elephant" listening to live music. Later on, changed to the club on the upper floor called "China One" that also featured a live band. Other than the one in "Crazy Elephant ...
