Singapore

Arrived in Singapore at about midnight - knackered and just desperate for a bed - luckily I had a recommendation of somewhere to stay! The Inn Crowd in Little India. Hopped in taxi - went straight to the hostel and collapsed in to my bed! The next day I hit Orchard Road and my god was it lucky I had left my credit card safely locked up at the hostel! It was amazing so many shops and shops and more shops! Decided to go and see some more touristy stuff so headed down to the MRT (tube) to go to Raffles! Must have looked very confused and lost as some nice Singaporian(?) called David offered his help in showing me where I should be going! He ended up taking me on a four hour plus tour of Singapore - slightly weird I know but he was a bit geeky and I thought I had a good chance of knocking him out if it was required!! Went all around to Raffles, to see the Merlion, some five finger building, loads of other places that I can't remember the names of - there's a shock! Left David on the MRT and I headed back to Little India to get ready for my Night Safari! What a load of bs that was! So much so I'm not even going to talk about it anymore. Went back to the hostel and sat outside drinking a few beers with people staying there and swapping traveling stories, this was probably my first taste of real traveling!!

Up bright and early the next day and headed over to Sentosa Island - the Singapore version of Disney! some amazing views from the cable cars the Carlsberg Tower - no not a pub a 360 degree revolving ride thing, that you could see all of Singapore from! Also went to the Dolphin show and got to have my photo taken with a pink dolphin (ahhh cute)! Had to rush back to the hostel like a mad man as had misjudged my time; leap in a taxi and get to the airport to catch my flight to my next stop - Bali.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention - I had to do some shopping while I was there and ended up having a traditional Chinese dress tailor made just for me to be sent home!! Well you couldn't expect me to go there and not buy anything now could you!!
