Somerset Liang Court Singapore

... and with no energy or will to sightsee, shop or even eat. This kind of set the bar for the whole trip...and as for finding a map that actually had any street names on it, good luck.

Then we have the rules: you can't do this, you can't do that - nae walking on the grass, no chewing gum (I expected those) but here come the belters - NO STUDYING (a sign in a cafe!) heaven forbid ...

... have bowls of raw peanuts and you are expected to eat them and chuck the shells straight on the floor!!! Some old tradition apparently. I just had a beer, but Mumsie said the "Sling" was beaut, which at $27 it bloody should have been!!! Mind you my glass of Tiger was $17 so the place would make a big quid I reckon!
By this time it was after 3pm so we headed back along the mall to the hotel to get ready for our Night Safari Tour atthe Zoo.

... Thailand and US$0.50 Angkor beers in Cambodia!

Other than the beach there is nothing else in Batu Ferringhi well unless you’re a girl then there are the night markets which I’m sure the ladies could spend hours shopping through. We found a great hawker food store where we enjoyed probably the best Kebab I have ever had and a nice Indian for no more than £5 each. Oh and how could I forget being woken up every morning at 5am by the loudspeakers from the mosque blaring ...

... with fruit left in the baking heat for days on end; the smell of dry kippers and fish in the stairway of the hostel; the 24-hour food markets; the amazing roti pratas down the road; Aljunied MRT; the cockcroaches and screaming cats; the constant stares of bemusement; the 7-eleven; Gaye; the tomatomart and many other things that make Geylang, Geylang. Not the biggest tourist trap, which is part of its charm, Geylang is great and I will miss it when I go!

... Let me tell you, it is so weird to come from practically 3 years of non-English countries to a countries where every street-sign, advertisement and product is written in English.



On top of being all that, Singapore is also pretty darn pricey. So three nights here is enough for us. We've bought ourselves a roundtrip ticket to Bali for a month and in, oh.. 20mins a bus is supposed to come and take us to the airport. So yeah, I should go.

... too much arguing for nothing! Anyway i met Laura, who work in the kitchen with me...Really crazy girl with a huge open heart, I met Lorenzo form Roma...If you saw the God Father he's the same one, but funnier...Thomas from Brazil always singing and then Beautifull Federica:)
I was living in the hostel about 200 rooms, ***********'t party, especially when you know most of the people....my favorites Damien, Marco, Nico, Eric, Adri....that was a good team:) after ...

... a wander around Little India and the Arab part of town but even they were very clinical. I stayed in Chinatown and that offered a bit more ...

... at his work have been extremely helpful, informative and have welcomed Adam into the office like he was meant to be on their team. Well I guess he is meant to be here otherwise it wouldn't have worked out. This is far from his experience in Australia. I think all of us have adjusted to the heat. When we first arrived I had the A/C set at 22-23 and now we are finally comfortable at 24-26. Sometimes when we go out in the evening I've even felt a chill ...

... 1. To our parents for their unwav**ing support and conc**n ov** our health and safety! 2. To our relatives - aunts, uncles, grandparents and cousins - for the same reasons above! 3. To all the exceptional people we've met during our travels - you really made each leg distinctively special. It is my adamant hope that we will see some of you again! 4. To you Blog-Dogs; our avid read**s! We're undes**ving of and spoiled by your attention! 1921 views, th**e-a ...
