Oxford Hotel Singapore

... construction programme. Our cheapo haunt in Geylang seems to have been smartened up - the pavements have been swept and the ladies of the night are keeping a lower profile, all except the tall scantily clad Indian girl who we saw literally stop the traffic, possibly thanks to some splendid surgical work - no mean feat to bring permanently busy Geylang Road to a halt! Talking of coming to a halt, our trip to view the ...

... This not how it work in Singapore," (blatantly bollocks) and continued his rudeness, so I told him I definitely wouldn't be coming back, that that he'd lost a potential customer, and finally, that he was an ignorant ****. I couldn't believe the guy's attitude, and thoroughly enjoyed being loudly abusive to him.<br><br>After this escapade, I found a big camera shop called Alan Photo. The polite guy behind the counter said they didn't do repairs, but ...

... in Singapore you take the MRT. After taking a connecting bus we arrived at the night safari. Now for all those wonder what this entails, yes... you guessed it... It is a Safari, but at night! The novelty factor was why we really wanted to go (that, and advice from Kate's friend Luke who had been before). I have to say, I really enjoyed it. The visit was a little rushed as we had to make it beck the the MRT for the last train at 11:30 ...

... to Singapore from because as usual I have no plans, made no arrangements and it Ramadan!! Whoops!! Carolyn hops in the cab too and off we go...<br><br>I swan into the hotel and yep you guessed it...no buses!! I knew this would happen!! I could have got an overnight VIP bus from the Perhentians why the **** did't I just do that?! Anyway Carolyn has arranged to meet her friend Seestik here so she hops out and three hugs later I begin my solo travels!1 Where ...

... I can give you of this is the story of a chap I met who spent the night walking around the back streets of Phnom Penh in Cambodia. He was approached by a shady chap whose opener was &#8220;You want hash?&#8221; The lad in question replied no, but the hawker wasn&#8217;t done yet. &#8220;You want ********?&#8221; &#8220;No, no ********, thanks.&#8221; &#8220;Prostitute?&#8221; &#8220;Err, no, I&#8217;m all good, thanks.&#8221; &#8220;You want crack?&#8221 ...

... due to fidgetty people on night flights and your body lets you fall asleep 7 hours earlier than normal, quite naturally!<br><br>Lesson 4: You have to search long and ******* Sentosa Island to find a peaceful, tranquil place to relax and be calm. It's the most touristic island in the universe - think piped pop music along outdoor walkways and escalators leading down hills.... fast food outlets and tarmaced paths... thankfully I found a beach to sit and read on without the ...

... too much food. Highlight was probably the chilli crab, a Singaporean speciality, which was about as messy as it was expensive. Oh well.<br><br>After recovering we headed down to one of the main roads in Singapore called Orchard Road. All it is is a huge open road, lined with 5-floor shopping malls, with more being built. A couple of people had told us that all they do in Singapore was eat and shop, and from the looks of Orchard, that ...

Well we are on our way and boy what a convoluted way to get to Singapore - Christchurch check in 7am to Auckland for a 4 hour wait then to Sydney for a short break before arriving in Singapore about 24 hours after we all woke in the morning!! yay to Qantas rescheduling. The start was interesting setting a recording breaking 'long' check in in CHCH - cause they couldn't find us confirmed on the flight therefore sorting that and organising ...

... in a wrong direction and we turned around. Katie asked a few people for directions, though each subsequent person seemed to contradict the others before them, and this left us even more confused than before. Eventually, we ended up in a quiet and leafy residential street that ended in a cul-de-sac, and just when we debating whether we&#8217;d ever get there, we came upon an American woman leaving a posh block of flats in jogging gear. It turned out she was ...
