And so the Stewart bandwagon hits its final leg (or as its a wagon, should that be wheel?) After a thoroughly enjoyable flight with Qantas from Brisbane to Singapore, I emerged into the sort of intense humidity that I really hadn't encountered since Central America. And this was at 9pm. I sweated my way to a hostel on Singapore's tube system, having a good chuckle at the "rap" that was used to encourage people to be polite to fellow passengers on the train. Bags dropped, and water drunk, I sneaked out to the night market for my first meal. Ive long [View Full Entry]

Anthony Bourdain, host of the show No Reservations and an idol of Rachel and I, has this to say about Singapore: "Your first time it's sweltering, it's steamy, the temperature and humidity punch you in the chest; the second time you start to see and understand that this, if you love food, might be the best place on earth." I think he's probably right. We heard that smart travelers get to Singapore, hit the ground eating, and never never never stop. So more or less, that's our strategy. We arrived in town too late and exhausted to do much but crash [View Full Entry]

We had to fly into Singapore from Bali as we needed to catch our connecting flight to Melbourne. It seems Singapore and KL are the transport hubs of South East Asia and we will be back in here again during our trip. Now it would be silly and well..... boring to write a blog EVERY time we passed through Singapore but decided on this occasion we would share just a few exciting details with you... and of course a few pictures! We have tried a few different guesthouses in Singapore and this time we booked a place called the Axis hostel. [View Full Entry]

... so I thought I'd start writing an entry. Heading to Perth tomorrow, pretty excited!! So on Tuesday (21st) went for my run and sit-ups :p and walked the whole of Tanglin and Orchard road, stopping to get stuff and explore along the way. People should not give me money, as I WILL just go and buy a load of CDs... got one of my memory cards put on disc as well, incase I get the urge to take a hell of a lot more photies. Hoyed a New York salad (healthy living) and went to the Singapore National Museum - [View Full Entry]

Okay this week started pretty uneventfully after an epic weekend... Monday I returned from Kl, went straight to work, afterwork- slept- naturally... Tuesday I attended my first Wushu lesson in Singapore at the Kuen Wushu Academy. What a treat- excellent training facilities, coaches from China and the senior coach who was a junior to Jet Li in the Beijing Wushu team! Training began with a football match to warm up after they found out I was from the UK. The rest of training was a mixture of drills and Taolu (routine) practice. I have to admit after 2 months of no [View Full Entry]

On Jetstar The holiday mood was still burning in me even though we had cancelled our Bali plans. At the time of writing, we haven't given up harassing Jetstar Asia for our flight issues. Calls had been made and a polite (I read through, and it wasn't nasty) letter sent to the Customer Care. We hoped that a miracle would materialise even though chances are extremely remote. Afterall, Jetstar had already given way by allowing us to postpone our flight to a later date at no extra charge. I would still continue to fly Jetstar in future. With its vibrant and [View Full Entry]

Well hello there, hows it going? Im going to update you on the last weeks events..... When we eventually got through customs and into Singapore we headed to Little India, which was cool. My first impressions of Singapore weren't great, I thought it was a bit souless. We checked into our outrageously priced dormroom and went out for tea, as we were staying in Little India, the food that was cheapest and most easily available was, believe it or not, curry. It was tasty though! On the Friday we decided to go to the heart of the city and see a [View Full Entry]
