River View Hotel Singapore

... Last time we’d been at Changi airport, on the way out, we had been transit passengers, not leaving the airport, so hadn’t experienced their immigration staff. The queues were long and there were hold-ups with some people being taken from the desk back to the end of different queues. When our turn came though, we were allowed through no problem. We were relieved to find ...

... otherwise gotten to see, but we generally stay away from zoos, so we weren't super stoked on it. The GIANT fruit bats and flying squirrels were a highlight. And the bear cat. <br> <br> Singapore has set the bar pretty high for Asia, cleanliness wise (it's spotless), public transportation wise, and food wise, but I am sure we will not be disappointed with the next places we go. It has been a great introduction to this continent, and I am so excited for where we'll go from here!

... the MRT station. The MRT would then take 30 minutes to get to our hostel. From the MRT station by the hostel it would take 30 minutes to get to the airport, and the connecting bus from the MRT stop at the airport takes a further 10 minutes to get to the Budget Flights terminal. The journey would take precisely 1 hour 40 minutes discounting wait time and other stops... <br><br>The bus ride was going well, we were making good time as the driver seemed ...

... wir unter anderem die Stadtviertel Little India, Chinatown, die Quays (Partydistrikt), den Hafen und die Altstadt. In der fuer ihre Einkausfszentren beruehmten Orchard Road kamen wir dann gar nicht mehr aus dem Staunen. Ein Einkauszentrum schliesst an das andere an und jedes hat mindestens die Groesse von Seiersberg. Wer also mal richtig Shoppen gehen will sollte sich nach Singapore begeben, aber nicht vergessen die ...

... br> <br> - Visit Sri Mariamman Temple, Singapore's oldest Hindu temple located in Chinatown. Look at the beautiful decorated interiors, brightly painted Hindu deities and admired the architecture. <br> <br> - Head down to Singapore's Southern Ridges for a 9 kilometre walk through hills of Mount Faber Park ...

... Town we stayed at the place where they filmed the scenes for The Beach where Leo meets Robert Carlyle, really crumbly old building but loads of character. On my request we headed straight for the cinema to see Transformers 2, then grabbed dinner and crashed. Day 2 we headed to the Crocodile and Tiger centre, was wicked, at least over 1000 crocs there including this prehistoric looking mo-fo that must have been 15-20ft, bloody huge it was. In the evening we grabbed ...

... It's just a bit too organised and the constant shopping would break me. It was good for a few days though, had a few tasty pints of Guinness in the Irish bar (kept getting prizes as I was the only person drinking it too:left with a luggage tag, 2 shot glasses, a Halloween toy, two decks of cards and a Christmas decoration &#8211; all Guinness branded), saw my only B&amp;I lions game and stocked up on some new underwear. Sorted.<br><br>

... trieb mich in die unzähligen kleinen Geschäfter von Chinatown und so hatte ich die Möglichkeit diese mal zu erkunden und ich war sehr erstaunt. Chinesische Medizin gegen alle Krankheiten die man sich nur vorstellen kann. Von Tigerbalsam bis zur unerkenntlichen giftgrünen Substanz war alles dabei. Nachdem ich ein paar dieser Shops durchstöbert hatte, überlegte ich mir was ich bei diesem pisswetter wohl als nächstes Tun könnte. Dabei lief ...

... almost the whole time and when we were ready to go home we had to suck it up and walk home in the down pour. We were soaked to the bone by the time we got home, but all in all great fun!! We had some nice conversation and the best part was Issaac and Jake had a blast playing together. We've invited them over for dinner one night this week so I'll look forward to seeing them together again. Til next week.........
