it's all about trying new things - in Singapore

---

I flew into Singapore from Perth on 20th Jan.
After 7 weeks spent with friends in Australia i found it really hard to resume backpacking, alone.
The first couple of days in Singapore were awful! Luckily i wasn't alone for any longer.
Roxanne, who was staying in the same hostel, had similar plans so we happily decided to hook up:-)

P.S. Apologies for not putting any photos from Australia, there's HEAPS to choose from and i would struggle with having to go through them all now. But one day i will.

curiosity-driven we tried many weird things in Chinatown

anyone fancies a bit of Chinese fresh food?
tried

or meat?
i didn't try from this street stall but i had sampled a wee bit in another shop. i braved it!

stall with Chinese sweets
of course i did try!
they were awful....

look at these massive fruit!
yeap, i tried

lobster-flavoured candies anyone?
i didn't even dare!!!
(they had many more flavours: crab, seaweed,shrimp,......)

streets were beautifully lit up in Chinatown
Because of preparations for Chinese New Year Chinatown was busier than usually.

massive electronics store
yes, i bought a couple of things but also ended up with a huge head-ache!
