So after a filling breakfast I went one stop to KL Sentral and waited in the 'boarding area' for the train to Singers. As I waited I chatted to a Geordie couple who were doing Newcastle-Bangkok-KL-Singapore-Newcastl e and found out all about their adventure.
Soon the train arrived and I got on, I had extra legroom seats I had prebooked online for the 8 hour trip although the whole carriage was almost completely empty. We slowly chugged past palm oil plantations and areas of devastated...
I woke up late as I had a late night the previous night. 9am start is now late by the way! I had a walk round the vibrant Little India with all of its characterful shops and restaurants and thought that this was perhaps the Singapore before all of the 20th Century sky scrapers arrived. I had breakfast and checked out, leaving my baggage at the hotel and headed to the famous Orchard road. This was a mile long street lined with huge marble shopping malls the size of West Quay or the Trafford Ce...
Singapore, Singapore harryvsFri Jan 7th - Day 255 Close to Auckland airport, in the middle of nowhere was a crazy golf course that only crazy, crazy golfers could dream up. A monstrous, fibreglass moulded landscaped wonderland. Even more bizarrely was the fact that at 10am in the morning there were several people playing. Fittingly for our time in NZ, an hour before take off heavy rain set in and hadn't relented as we took to the skies bound for Singapore. Leaving Auckland at 3.30pm, our 10 hour flight arrived in Singap...
Singapore, Singapore leeandcathyAARGH!!! Just been writing an entry for about 1/2 hour and lost it! How annoying! Will teach me not to save as I go along. Starting again.. Arrived in Singapore on 1st May after an overnight train journey from Kuala Lumpur. Our first class bunks were nice. We had our own cabin with a bathroom and shower, a tv (with 2 channels!) and somewhere to put our luggage. We even got breakfast in the morning (tea and croissant). It made a nice change from the 2nd class bunks. The class of ticket doesn't...
Singapore, Singapore vblowry2000
... we're holed up in a coffee place with 6 hrs free Internet and our bags on a trolley. This is the high life I tell thee!
So lets rewind a few days back anyway and explain a little bit about what else we've been up too. After doing A.B.C we basically chilled out in Pokhara for 5 or so days, got a boat out on the lake, ate well, slept lots, started watching The Wire again (Nepal shuts-down around 10pm usually) and simply relaxed before heading back to KTM ...
Day 2
Well discovered about the lights. People put them on when they come home – midnight, 2 am … etc. They went on & noise was to be had, but didn't stay on too long!! So tired I went straight back to sleep
Slept in & left about 9.30am.Had the best day walking for miles ...
... do like an ale and, after checking that it really was proper London Pride (there are a lot of fakes for sale in the markets here, it might extend to beers), I ordered two pints. I was less pleased when I got the bill. I had made the fatal mistake of forgetting to ask the price first and was charged the equivalent of nearly £6 per pint. We enjoyed the beers but when J asked ‘what shall we do next?’ I was quick to reply ‘well, we’re not having another ...
Singapore, Singapore jenandtonyLike before, a long uncomfortable "night" with occasional patches of sleep. Still blindingly white outside, of course, and still officially "night" so there were no meals until a "breakfast" a couple of hours before landing.
It was evening when we landed. During the couple of hours in Singapore we did a little bit of shopping and changed all our currency back into Aus$. At Changi Airport, the Internet ...
... where to look first, and could barely formulate a coherent sentence. I just laughed. It’s nice to be the composed one in this relationship, for once.
Today we spent some time exploring Little India which really involved shopping and eating and then eating some more. We LOVE Indian food and were able to multi-task as we snacked and shopped. I also had a henna tattoo done on my hand of an intricate Indian design. I love it and ...
... walking on. One thing I hate more than anything is when people cut in line. Maybe it's because I'm impatient and figure that if I have to wait for something, everyone else does too. It's really hard for me in Asia because it always seems to me like the people are trying to get one up on everyone. And there is no air "bubble" that surrounds a person. Everyone crowds in close to you and weasels their way in front. Of course, I do not let them. It's one of my biggest pet peeves and I will ...
