Down to our last set of clothes we decided to do the washing. Well we paid the guy at reception at our backpackers to wash and dry our clothes. Easy as. Then we decided to venture out to the Singapore flyer. Bryden has come down with a bit of a cold so we just had a relaxing day. On the flyer we had to go through tighter security than the airpor...

The bus ride back down to Bangkok was slightly better than the one up, except that our bags had been opened during the night. Thankfully we had listened to other travellers and their horror strories about stolen valuables stored in the luggage compartment – anything worth stealing was in our daypacks, always with us. The next morning we to...

We woke today to find that brekky was included. I just had toast and Lorna had herself some scrambled eggs. I think Lorna is getting her full appetite back - somebody warn New Zealand!! We decided to use the MRT (subway/underground) to get to Orchard Road. The Singapore MRT is so clean, efficient and well set out...oh, and cheap....London has go...

Lazy start: mango, papaya, passion fruit and banana for breakfast so already well on the way to 5/day. Nature Watch: A walk around part of McRitchey reservoir in the afternoon. Monkeys, turtles and monitor lizards. Medical Watch: M was telling us about the traditional procedure for pregnant Chinese Singaporean girls. Once the pregnancy is announ...

This is a bit late too... The day after the zoo and night safari our legs were throbbing, no surprise really! As with everything in Singapore they boast to have either THE BEST or THE WORLD'S FIRST something, including the biggest enclosure of Oran's, the 1st tree top canopy etc etc (gets a bit boring after a while!). The animals are caged diffe...

Well, its been a busy month as the title will tell you! We spent a crazy few night in Kuala Lumpar eating lots of banana mess (more curry than you could possible eat, served on a banana leaf and eaten with you hands - yum) and sampling all the amazing locals foods that cost nothing. Other than food we found KL a little on the expensive side so w...

As we crossed the bridge into Singapore, I mentally ticked another country off our list and immediately found myself looking up at the hundreds of giant skyscrapers towering above. As we got closer to the city I couldn't get over just how shiny everything is! The cars are all brand spanking and freshly washed and waxed, the buildings look like t...

Our final full sightseeing day in Singapore. There really is a lot to do and see. And the whole place is much more laid back than we expected. Brendon described it as like living on an island but I didn't believe him at first. Most people are highly fashionable, but this appears to consist of designer top, designer jeans and flat slip on shoes/s...

Day 8 Another early morning. By 7am we were at the conference room of Singapore General Hospital. We had chosed Thanaphot (CAS TKR) and Hau (ACL recon) to present... So i felt relieved. However they had a case presentation first and they ask what we'd do in our country... I always find it unnerving when people ask these type of questions... Good...

May 5, 2007 (Quinnie's 3rd Bday) Singapore We started the morning pretty early by taking a car to the Damnoen Saduek (sp?) "Floating Market" about 1.5 hours south of Bangkok. Total tourist trap, but we had to do it. You rent a long-tail boat which takes you around the local village where everyone lives in houses on stilts in the water and travel...
