Hello from singapore!!
We were a bit dubious of coming here because so many people said 'why??' when we said we were, but we've had a nice time here and there are some cool things to do and things to see!
We've tried out lots of different asian food, korean, chinese, japanese and some other rice dishes that we didn't know where they were from,. Steve has become pretty skilled using chopsticks and I was quite rubbish, but then again I was rubbish when I tried to use a fork too!
Our hostel is in little india which is a quieter area of singapore. The buildings are older but interesting to look at and there are some beautiful buddhist temples around, one of which has a 15metre hugh buddah statue which was cool! Felt a bit strange going into temples when people are in there worshipping (not sure if thats the right word) but they are gorgeous so i'm glad we saw them!
We've walked for miles around this city, pretty much one end to the other. Went to the marina which we saw the weirdest thing here, what looks like 3skyscrapers next to each other with a huge boat that goes across the top of all three of them! Weird but cool!! As we ventured further out of little india the buildings become more modern and very funky!! There are so many shopping malls here and they're all at least 5 levels high! And they're all really nice (pretty posh actually) so different compared to the little old streets around our hostel!
Singapore zoo is pretty amazing!! I was a bit sad to see a polar bear in there but all the animals seem well treated, the orangutans had a kind of free range exhibit too which was nice! We saw lots of animals get fed which was awesome, definately a good day out!!
Oh yeah - we were watching this show in the zoo and stephen got pulled up to do this tribal dance with these guys!1 Was so funny!! they took off his shirt and gave hima shield hat and spear!! haha!!
We're off to bangkok tonight - exciting times!! Speak soon xxxxxxxx
