Ok soooo well just finish off where we left off......we said goodbye to Bali in Style....... we woke one morning to find a puddle of water in our room, after much complaining we moved rooms......much to our inconnvienence lol!! we were treated with free laundry......a chinese meal at the hotel resturant........a free box of chocolates...(that we prob could have done without lol) and wait for it......they wiped off our 50$ internet bill....we were very proud of our excellent negotiation skills!! we left Bali feeling amazing after a facial, full body massage and hair treatment..... we said goodbye to Maddi and gave him big bag of freeby toiletries that we had been collecting for his family....and explained we would send the photos on from singapore (many of his family did not own a picuture of themselves) .......Bye Bye Bali....Bye Bye Bali Hyatt.......Bye Bye.....Baliense Donna & Lucy....Hello Singaporian Tom Tom & Stant Stant......!! whoop whoop!!
Sinagpore is full of suprises.........our first impressions were that it is extreamly multi cultural.....it has India....Malaysia.....China....London.....Ibiza all rolled into one... and guess what they all get along....we should take some hints.....!! after dumping our bags we headed straight into the city....we soon found out that Singapore is shopping crazy...they even have a Top Shop & River Island.... 24 hr shopping malls.....& loads a electronics and techo gadgets!! its also very clean and tidy...there are strict rules & fines about litter dropping, chewing gum and leaving smelly fruit hanging around much to Donna's delight!! you cannot chew gum in Singapore and to test this we checked out if they sold it.... and guess what they dont!! NO chewing gum here...... over the two days weve walked around the city seen the bustly markets, used their underground, cable cars, shopping malls but two main areas of our attaction stick out......
Little India
Its basically India smaller stuck inside an area of Singapore but we experineced it on a sunday afternoon.......we found out that sundays are days for many Indians to come to little india...eat food......and hang around...litterally...there were thousands of Indian men sat on sidewalks, curbs, grass, on mobile phones.....or what appeared to be speed dating......INDIAN GAY style!! it was rather strange....at first we couldnt work it out....they were all mainly in twos holding hands flirting or giving out their numbers..... we then realised what was going on....we loved it!! why not allow people to be themselves and what better way to express themselves freely in a multi cultural city!! welldone Singapore
The next real memory for us would be whats called 'Sentosa Island' We thought we'd take the underground (which by the way is cheap, clean safe and effective) and explore the Harbour front....whilst at the front Donna decided it would be fun to try a cable car ride as she had never done this before, when we paid for the tickets we were asked if we were getting off at Sentosa we tried to ask the guy what was Sentosa.....he didnt understand us or maybe decided not too....so we just said yes.....2$ each to enter....well we literally discovered another world!! it was mainly a toursit attraction but it had 3 beaches with everybody chillin out....eating dinner....playing volley ball.....loads a gangs of locals in big groups .......but best of all Cafe Del Mar........the DJ was in circle type high rise building....there were the most comfortable double sunbeds high or low your choice.... a swimming pool and bar... all fensed off with the best house music!! soooooo cool....... also at the Island were dophins....water world......theme park......Merlion.........water features....resturants...well you name it, it was there we spent the whole day there........Sentosa Rocks!!!
Singapore has been a fab experience of a city that really works......young, old, poor, rich, black, white or Asian....Muslim, Hindu, christian, or Buddist......everybodies welcome for this we gave it the thumbs up!!! Britain you really should take head!!
Until the next Chapter........Sydney part 3.......we love you all loads keep your messages coming they really cheer us up (especially being let in on parties @ maurices) even if we do laugh really loudly in the Internet cafe its all good lol!!.....good to here alls well... speak soon love Donna & Lucy x x Mwah x X
