Sunday, woke up to a couple of text messages and a phone call from Mel at 8am so there's no sleeping in for me. Started the day by going for a bit of a walk around the lake, decide not to go around the whole lake as it's pretty humid already so decide that a swim is a better option. Ahhh the pool of pools, getting into my swimmers which consist ...

Singapore..basically just another big city.. another very expensive big city! It is scary how clean it is and how expensive everything is compared to Thailand and Malaysia (and especially Lao!). However- they do have the BEST donuts I've ever tried in my life (personal favourite is the tiramisu..still warm from the oven). We also did a day trip ...

If you don't really have to go to Singapore ... don't. Unless of course you like shopping. Shopping seems to be Singapore's national sport. Every day throusand of Singaporeans seem only to shop. I don't know how they get the money for all this shopping, but somehow they do. Singapore is not like other countries in Southeast Asia because they hav...

It's amazing how much money you can waste in 6 hours! Everthing in Singapore was pretty expensive, but i still managed to sink a couple of beers and see some bits. I checked my backpack into the airport early on and ventured to the main shopping district, and then into little india for some grub. I did not have my camera with me hence no photos,...

After 5 months on the road Singapore was like a long hot shower! We stayed in possibly the cleanest and newest hostels so far, drank afternoon tea in Raffles and enjoyed being terribly British. The highlight was a day at the zoo! (Other than for Amy who managed to buy a whole new outfit the following day which obviously outdid the zoo). White ti...

Man i miss my family! Didnt realise how much i'll miss them until i left, i held back a tear when they waved me off at the airport.. realising i wont see them till November next year kills me.. but travelling is a new love for me, and hopefully i'll get over it sooner rather than later! The funny thing was that when i first saw mama she gave me ...

Hi there!! I was so sad to leave my gorgeous partner Matt and gorgeous sister Tania behind, there were tears for the first half hour of the flight, then i watched a **** movie with Sarah Jessica parker and that took my mind off my own sadness as she was even sadder in the rubbish movie!! i was also very late and two lovely ladies (one of which b...

After many years of waiting, Singapore. Wonderful visit with James, Faith, Matthew and Gabrielle.

After 18 hours of travel from Zurich to Singapore via London, we arrived yesterday morning. The flight wasn't as bad as we thought it would be, although the vegetarian meal had been forgotten. Nadine got a plate from business instead, which was excellent. When we got to the Swissotel Stamford the honeymoon got us upgraded to a members room with ...

This evening I arrived in Singapore without problems. They had a much more aggressive immigration but everything went fine. So far I have only seen a tiny bit of the city but it is definately very modern and nice. I would actually classify it as euro-asian. It would be a good place for people to go to if they were wanting to go to Asia but worri...
