36 Temple Street Singapore, Singapore, 058581, 6221-5333
15th to 16th Oct 2007 Yesterday I had a day of sightseeing around Melaka until the heavy rain arrived around midday. Made a run for the shopping mall for shelter and some lunch until the rain went off. After lunch I did more sightseeing - different museums including the maritime museum. Melaka is quite easy to walk around, especially the old colonial area. Met up with a woman from England staying at the same guest house as me and got chatting. Turns out that she will be in Sydney at the same ...
Singapore, Singapore duncanmLeft for the airport at the same time as Dom, despite my flight being 2 hours later, as there was nothing better to do. Dom checked in, and then I tried to, but it seems they were taking an extra long lunch break and told me to come back in an hour. So Dom and I said our goodbyes, which was very brief considering we've been travelling together for the last 2 months, but we were both preoccupied: him with his flight back to England, and me with the prospect of seeing David again. It was a stra...
Singapore, Singapore suzhuAfter several films on the plane's nice, modern on-demand entertainment system; and yet more airline food (all of which has been pretty good, considering); we landed in Singapore in late afternoon their time. Particularly after the southern end of Australia in winter, Singapore was hot (31°C) and stiflingly humid. Arriving went incredibly smoothly and quickly, with minimal queuing at passport control and our luggage appearing promptly on the carousel - and then the 'Green' channel at Customs ...

... the tram to the international terminal, get our boarding passes, and then check-in and go to security. We were in row 18 of 18 rows. We were kinda brewing. But this flight attendant on Horizon Air was awesome. She announced to everyone that there was this nice family on board that had to make a tight international connection and to let us off the plane before they could get off. She even poked fun of us by referring to Bhupesh as ...
Singapore, Singapore asksarita... from a different trip he was taking to India. They take big old meaty Sri Lankan crabs, and sauté them into one of three popular sauces.
Chili Crab: This is a thick tomato spicy gravy that coats the crab and leaves plenty of sauce for “mopping up” with fried Chinese rolls called Man Tou. Really, really delicious. Typing that up made me hungry for that again. ****. But anyway, the crab is tender and meaty.
Pepper Crab: This was ...
... the last minute pressies and the final dash of shopping for ourselves done as well.
Now hopefully someone that reads this can help me out with something.......last time we were in Singapore we were in Vivo City Mall just shopping like anyone else.......and all of a sudden I hear a whole heap of noise. So I turn around....and going through the middle of the mall is a 10 person marching band!!!!! Just walking through the mall, playing their music ...

* Riding the Luge at Sentosa (even losing my shoe!)
* The people
ADAM'S PARAGRAPH:
Hi Guys,
Sad to be leaving Singapore. Have been here only a few days and just now feel like I'm getting a good handle on things, finding my way around the MRT and the major streets etc.. Perhaps the nicest surprise has ...
... see all the stuff going on in the canopy. To be honest, there wasn't much stuff going on up there, but it was still cool. And scary.
We decided Borneo wasn't up to snuff besides Mulu Park and after arriving back in our tiny plane, we waited all day to catch the next available flight to Singapore. Where I am currently typing from.
Singapore is clean, modern, STRICT (you need a permit to chew gum! seriously!) and the national language is ...
... and freeways here and there, the same goes for the zoo.
You are basically walking through a
rainforest with areas reserved for animal habitats. There area few
dangerous animals that they have taken a few more precautions with,
though overall you get the impression that the animals are pretty
happy. Beyond the animals is a huge river that you can take a boat
from one side of the zoo to the other and you feel like you are on a
true safari ride (we didn ...
... taking a chair lift to the top of a hill, and sitting in a go-kart like buggy, riding down a 650 meter track. After walking around for a while, we headed back to the mainland, taking the return journey on the monorail, which was six times cheaper for a return ticket than one way on the cable car. We walked around the more up-market area of the Harbour Front, passing the town hall and a cricket field with a match in ...
