Singapore
So our trip to Singapore was pretty uneventful, I guess for most people it is a stop off city. A very expensive stop off city, especially considering the price difference in Malaysia 20 miles up the road. It is a very clean city and you would feel very safe there, due to the high penalties for crimes apparently. Most people do have english so it is an easy enough city to travel around.
We went the hostel route this time and pretty much regretted that. We stayed in Sleepy Sams, which if traveling on your own would be an okay place to stay but the private room we booked wasn’t very private. Basically a 6 foot high partition was placed between us and the rest of the dorm. Also the “ac” advertised wasn’t what we were expecting one ac machine for the entire floor only switched on at night, I suppose it was one way of getting used to the heat and humidity. Also we weren’t allowed check in early, after flying 7 hours overnight from Dubai all we wanted was our bed and some sleep which we had to wait 3 hours for.
So for the day and half we had there we visited Clarke Quay in the evening. It is a lovely part of the city with a whole load of restaurants and pubs along the quayside. Watch out for the drink though, two drinks cost us about 16 euro. The next day we visited Sentosa Island which has a whole load of attractions, dolphin parks and the likes. The beaches again were fantastic.
For anyone that is traveling to Singapore, don’t worry about the transport as taxis are cheap enough and the MRT (Subway in Singapore) is excellent with stops at all the main tourist locations.
So that was about it for Singapore, oh I did manage to leave my wallet in a taxi there so am now traveling without a credit card or pass card but that’s probably not a bad thing :). A nice lady called the taxi company for us but chances of it turning up are slim and none.
Just getting off the bus in KL now so I’ll sign off, don’t forget to message me on facebook!
