A new country in Asia and another epic bus journey... after 8 hours on the bus we arrived in Singapore. We were stayed in an area called Little India where most of the hostels are, checked in, and headed out for some much needed western food. Needless to say Little India stuck to its name and after walking around for what seemed like hours, with no McDonnalds in site we ended up settling for a sandwhich at our hostel and crashed.
