Festive Hotel Sentosa Island

... it was fairly empty and i managed to stretch out over 4 seats in the middle to try to have a bit of sleep. However that was not to be as pretty soon there was a bit of commotion and I notice the stewards fussing over the chap in the seat in front of me. They were giving him oxygen, so I alerted H who offered his medical expertise. Turns out he had a cardiac rhythm disturbance and was ok by the time we disembarked. H scored a very nice bottle of white wine from First ...

... d’avions militaries et d’helicopteres. Une balade dans little India noua a fait goute a de bons plats indiens et a un second depaysement. Une sentiment de slumdog millionaire deja-vu nous a effleure l’esprit.

Nous retenons de Singapour sa proprete, l’efficacite des transports en commun et la propension des habitants pour le magasinage. La moitie de l’ile doit etre occupee par des ...

... the music of the house band who were fantastic and even engaged in a spot of dancing. It was a brilliant evening and a wonderful way to round things off in Singapore.

We returned to Geylang, had one more piece of food from the 24 hour food loft, and then slept for one more night. I'm still in awe as to how fast everything went. I left before Lucy and Emily and I travelled with ease to Changi airport, walking through the high ceilinged and naturally lit lobby, and clearing ...

... would also be able to experience a night shift if we desired.

This realm of opportunity was fantastic after the months of heartache organising this trip and it seemed our toil would be rewarded. As we weren't strictly elective students, in a way this has provided us greater freedom on what we could accomplish and their friendly and accommodating manner made us feel like we weren't dog food at the bottom of the food chain but enthusiastic students willing to learn. The ...

... is getting alone and we are enjoying our time here, the kids always have something to do as Aidan is 8, Declan is 10, and Mark's niece - Brianna is 15 and Adam is 17, they and Car and Joe share a room.Today we are going to go on a hop on hop off bus around the area - hopefully to the world famous hotel Raffles - though we had not hear of it for a Slingapore Sling and then tonight off to Borneo.I will hopeully update again after Borneo.
bye.

... have DOLPHINS!!!!! and.... these dolphins are PINK! Ok, not quite pink. Apparently they are born grey, (the normal colour) and then as they age, they turn pink. First their bellies, then their dorsal fins, the the rest of them. It's pretty neat. ...... if only they turned purple rather than pink. Um... what else about Sentosa? They had a water laser/fire works show I don't know, either after seeing ...

... want the time to end. But, of course, by this time, I was already running late. So we hurried out of there, got on one subway to the new subway line and got off on the stop near our hostel, just a couple short blocks away. I had always taken the bus back to the hostel, so I was thankful to have someone guide me back from the subway spot. But, the city there is so easy to get around in, I'm actually sure I would have been fine on my own. And for me to say that, says a lot. I ran up to the ...

... us to the island and we headed for the infamous Merlion. Merlion is a symbol of Singapore with the head of a Lion and the tail of a mermaid. The one on Sentosa island is very large and you can climb to the top of the head and see all of Singapore. At the top you can see all of Singapore, which is so breathtakingly beautiful. Looking at the map of attractions we headed for the aquarium - which, to be honest, wasn't much. Although there was a tunnel that ...

... haggle over cutting edge electronics, pore over the temples or sample the local culinary delights of the many hawker centres that abound the island. That or shopping. It's all about shopping here. Singaporeans by nature are shameless marketing victims and masters in the art of decisionless (brainwashed) purchasing of absurdly unnecessary goods and services. The island of Singapore is ...

... World attraction and try to get a bite to eat at an Oceanside restaurant called Coastes where you can eat at a picnic table or be served in a beach lounge chair. Prices on this island are inflated- as to be expected in a big tourist trap- but it was all around enjoyable. There were droves of people arriving as we tried to depart as well, as so we got a taste of what it might be like on the weekends as well as were forced to wait in a long line for the free buses. I ...
