Stu On Tod
At singapore airport now!! About to fly to sidney in errrr 25 minutes dam i should really board that plane!!! All the same thought Id keep u guys updated before I left Asia, but looks like im going to have to when I get to Oz!! stu xx
Right im in Sidney!! So any ways took the boat across to thailand mainland!! Started chattin to these 2 guys and by chance noticed this OZy girl id met in Koh Tao obviously much older than me and on trying to befriend her had let out a load of anti English steam which had clearly been building up for a while!! So i was like fancy seeing her here what r the chances oh well illl just leave her to it! Any way we get of the boat and are sorted into catorgaries depending on where we are going and which company we are with, out of time finish this later sorry stu x Right so any way we get sorted into our group my group has 4 other people 2 hot girls, this weird looking guy and what do you know the mad ozy!! So any way we get transported to some bus stop, ignoring the the other I strike up conversation with the 2 girls. After 15 minutes were getting on extremely well and im thinking this is gonna be the best 10 hour journey of my life- O rite!! ANy way this thai bus driver comes in and it turns out even thou were all going to KL where going in different buses as we booked with different companies!! 10 minutes later im on a 6 seater bus for 5 hours with the manic ozy racist!! What was begining to look like an O rite situation was now looking very bleak! After a long chat to be fair she wasnt nearly as bad as she had previously come across but all the same quite a turn of events. Any way as it would turn out journeying though malaysia I would have much worse company on the buses as they all seemed to be cockroach infested, the high point being me awaking to a 3 inch 1 on my hand.... It broke my heart that I had over stayed in Thailand and would face the consiquences being that I would only have a mere half day of looking round malaysia needless to say i didnt get the chance to see much, though i feel i did get a rough touch of there society which was fasinatingly different to thailand so that was gd. I also got my cheapest accomidation in Kl at 1 pound fifty a nite!! THis is my favourate part thou getting to Singapore we had to fill in this imigration card and I spent so long doing it my bus left me at the border lol, leaving me wandering aimlessly- bumber as it was 1 in the mornin.... I must have spent another hour hondering around with very few people about except me and Singapore police armed with M16's .... with no natvie money I eventually found a particullarly nice taxi guy who said he would take me some where to exchange my malaysian money inorder to pay him and find me a cheap hotel... and he did! Due to my serious party lag curtisey of Koh Pangyan I managed to s;leep in till 3:30 on my 1 day in Singapore! DAm those buckets! All the same I manged a sound recovery as the transport system in Singapore is accually 2nd to none ive eva seen far better than european captial cities! In my time there I managed to get a good feel for singapore as I was staying in the Muslin Sector where it seems relatively run down part of the city, prob why it was so cheap! But certainly culturally interesting, thou I have to say I dont think the majority of people in that part of the city where very keen on my height skin and beard! In fact when I was travelling to the airport I sat down next to this guy and he got up and moved straight away, people might take this in many a way but how ever you look at it I definately need to buy some soap!! Any way the rest of singapore was also fasinating, very clean and also the most modern city Ive ever been to without doubt! The main center is totally different from european style there are no high streets or shops on street level, only block after block of huge shopping centers connected by a series of bridges avoiding eva crossing any roads! VEry cool place and a total contrast to Thailand and Malaysia! From what I saw though the people of Singapore didnt seem to have much different live sytles to that of the people of London, very much a first world country and quite how much surprized me frankly. In Sidney now gonna check out the blue Montains tomorrow, and then head north the day after that!
