I was so glad when we touched down in Singapore. Not just glad that we had arrived in Asia, but so relieved that I was soon going to be off that plane and away from the nightmare that had been sat to me for the past 7 hours drinking countless whiskey's, telling me his life story and going on how "those ****ing Asians" were getting everywhere. (Y...

Hello Singapore! Singapore, our first stop, and a gentle introduction to South East Asia. In fact it couldn't be more different than the rest of the continent - spotlessly clean, not a mosiquito in sight and everything you could wish for at your fingertips. Or at least it was at the very swish and very lovely 5* Mandarin Oriental Hotel - some st...

ma, 25 september 2006 Na een dagje Efteling van mijn werk, vertrekken Lonneke en ik vanuit Den Bosch met de trein naar Schiphol.

Sleepy Sam's, a backpackers lodge set in the heart of the city, in a quiet suburb was my digs for my 6 days in Singapore.

In the others I had been a sole occupant in a twin room, and the dorm bit was a little strange, almost like going back to schoo...

We took a trip on the 16th to Sentosa Island. It's effectively a "theme park" island and mainly caters for tose looking for beaches. We took the cable car across the sea to get there, and went to see the aquarium. Saw some sharks, manta rays, Dugong, weedy sea dragons and some other stuff. We popped outside to see the turtles before taking a tri...

Well, finally I have arrived Singapore in one piece. Partially thanks to the Kent Family who sponsored my bus ride home. God Bless them. Now I am back in Singapore and back to the same routine, going back to school and finished up my final semester in Temasek Polytechnic. Firman "Success Is A Journey, Not A Destination."
