It's Official!! my ceiling is no more interesting under the dim green glow of my alarm clock than it is during the day. after about 40 minutes of sleep last night it was finally time to go!!! We arrived in singapore fairly quickly, although there is only so many times you can play super tennis. we went straight to the visitors centre and signed up for our free tour of singa's (we got one because we are here for 10 hours). spent the rest of the time searching for some sunglasses and a watch, which as yet i haven't found. everything seems to be aimed at the rich and famous!!! once the tour got under way we went through customs and got a colonial tour of the city via a bus and a rickity old ... read more

Goodbye Bangkok - you will be missed - friendly people and lively vibrant atmosphere - we won't miss the pollution though. We loved our taster of this city, the beautiful ornate temples, street food, and the fascinating river communities - must return in the near future...

Took the MRT train to China town - careful to follow all the various rules and regulations - which are strategically displayed in English! Then arrived to a colonial Hotel 81, covered elaborately in an array of Chinese decorations and multi-fluorescent lighting for New Year celebrations. Decorations everywhere - Chinese lanterns and beautiful pink flowers displayed all down the streets - a great first impression. Then ... read more
