Alice in Wonderland....literally!!
I leave Singapore today, but have been here since Wednesday. Came straight through Malaysia from Thailand. Was a very eventful journey but I got here eventually.
Singapore has been a welcome retreat....as I'm sure you've heard from me already...the toilets flush, the water is warm and the air conditioning is going at full blast!! Thailand was fab, and it had become kinda everyday to find the loo was nothing more than a hole in the corner of the room but Singapore is like home from home. Culture is pretty non-existent. Little India and China Town have been really interesting...quirky and full of scrummy hawker stalls offering some lovely treats. Although I have learnt...never ask an Indian Lady offering you curry if its spicey...yes miss, its not spicey, its mild!! My arse its mild....about 3 bottles of water later and my mouth was still positively alight!!
I have also seen the prime minister of Bahrain and Singapore driving past me in some huge Mercedes Convoy!! Also, was attacked on the underground and asked to be in an advertising campaign for Singapore Tourist Board. Went on a night safari in north singapore...was far too close to a lion for my liking and the tram was going extra slow...but was cool all the same. Went to Sentossa Island yesterday and to the most southern point of Continental Asia. Took myself off to Raffles and although I couldnt afford a Singapore Sling ($16) I enjoyed the free penunts, and of course threw the shells on the floor as is custom apparently. I then got thirsty (clever selling tactic there i think!!) and so bought a fruit juice...FRUIT JUICE @ $10!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Was quite nice though!!
Looking forward to Australia, but have truly loved Asia and will definatly be coming back here to explore the northern countries.
Lots of Love, until next time..... xx xx
