Thursday, and sadly my last day in Singapore!
The time has flown by! It's been fantastic, not just the great city! But, (and more importantly) seeing Mark and Lucy! They've been fantastic hosts, showing my around when they could, and advising me where, and what to see! I hadn't seen Mark or Lucy since they moved out here in Jan 2010! But it was like i had only seen them the other day! They are both top people, and top friends!
So, if asked to describe Singapore, i would say, a lot like London, but, and a big BUT! Better climate, cleaner, much more organised! Better and more comfortable public transport, amazing modern buildings! But with still a city with history! A very nice place to live but it does come at a cost! Alcohol is unbelievable expensive! Houses and car's cost treble the price back in England! And realistically air con would be a must in both!
I get the feeling that when they developed Singapore, they looked at all the other big cities, saw what was right! And learnt from what was wrong to make this amazing place! The only problem is that perfection costs!
This is my last blog from Singapore it's been easy because I've always had access to a computer! That may change a little now! So blogs maybe fewer and far between! I've been away a week now, and the one difference I've noticed in myself is how much I've enjoyed righting these blogs! I'm someone who would see the computer as the enemy! And go out of my way to get out of writing! But this just seems easy! I can't guarantee it will last! But for the moment I'm going to make the most of it!
Tomorrow i will be waking up in Cairns!!! Australia here i come!
