Our first day in Singapore was mainly spent wandering round the supermarket listening to the christmas songs they were playing! It sounds strange be we were in need of a little christmas cheer! There was little else to do in the city, it was very expensive and has all the same shops that we have at home. The next day, however, was slightly more exciting.

We were staying in a dorm of 6, which was cool as we met loads of people. While there we met two Aussie girls, called Michelle and Lee, who we got on really well with.
