Sing a pore for me

tigerairways.com if you ever need cheap flights in Asia!

First stop, the shops! We found topshop!! ... and nemo ;) We were quite excited, although the sudden increase in price wasn't so appealing. None-the-less, the streets of Singapore were alive (with the sound of music and performers) so we managed to wile away the day.

In the evening we headed to the night safari, camera in hand and night photography mode switched on...first obstacle was actually getting there which should have been easy since we booked to go on a bus through the hostel, but it wasn't. The Bus was full so we were the lucky four that had to go and grab a taxi...again another easy task? No, we stood for 40 minutes on many different roads trying to flag one down but no-one was having it. One did stop but decided against us when Ayms tried to have a workd? So back to the hostel, defeated and we find out that the bus hadn't turned up yet, some other people had gone off to get a taxi so there was now space for us...a roundabout way of getting there but we did eventually. Then you get to the night safari, all geared up to take some award-winning photos and they tell you you aren't allowed to use the flash...ahhhhh!

We visited Sentosa island where everything is super expensive but where they sell excellent popcorn. We scoped out all the free stuff to do which mostly involved riding the tram. On the one occasion we did decide to walk somewhere, at the point when we were too far from any sort of shelter the heavens opened and we got caught in the biggest downpour I've ever seen - just when you think it's easing, nope, it's just taking a breath so it can pelt raindrops on you even harder.

Drenched and a little cold, we continued to the tour and visited the musical fountain which wasnt being too musical or too fountain like i.e no music and no water?!?! whats that all about?, we found a walking trail to take you to the lost civilisation but we couldnt find it?! It was more like the Gem and Amy get lost walking route!

In the evening we made for the free Singapore Arts Festival and watched some fire shows and weird flourescent uv lights show - seriously - people get paid to do this?

We made it to the obligatory Raffles Hotel but felt to scruffy to go anywhere near the inside and that was our time gone in Singapore...and Asia!

AUSTRALIA HERE WE COME!
