Well 4 weeks in now and having returned to Delhi via another overnight train we left India for Singapore... a welcome change. It is hot and wet here causing a constant sweaty nutsack and etreme sandal wearing. (just for andrew i would add) . First thing we did was eat some food without washing our hands in bleach first - red meat and burgers have featured high in our diets over the last 2 days alongside chocolate and ice cream. We feel like someone is about to take all food away so best eat in case we never do again! Singapore [View Full Entry]

Hey All, Well we pick up following my visit to the earth dragon. Myself and a couple of the lads head to Raffles hotel for a world famous singapore sling. Raffles is an amazing hotel very colonial. Your not allowed through the main hotel in your shorts but we're allowed to work through some side corridors. The rich people look at me as though I'm a peseant, I think it might be something to do with hair! Anyhow as most of you know I spent alot of time researching this trip and one of things I did with Clur before I [View Full Entry]

Blog entry has been backdated. It was kinda rushed for the preparation of the entire trip. Thanks to my last exam which ended on 1st, I started packing two nights before and rushing everywhere to change currency to HK dollars and RMBs. Armed with leftover maps of HK, Shenzhen and a well-worned Lonely Planet book titled 'Hong Kong & Macau' by Steve Fallon, circa 2002 freshly borrowed out from the library. I intended to travel *light*, which entailed packing some shirts, a few pants. Had an intention not to have any check-in luggage on board, heard budget air [View Full Entry]

Hey All, Well I'm here I've arrived in Singapore. They say the first thing you notice about Singapore is how clean it is. Well I have to agree the place is very clean, however, the first thing I noticed was the dodgy carpet in the airport that look like some curtains me Nan had when I was younger. Considering that Singapore airport is regarded as one of the best in the world it wasn't a good first impression. However as you move through and out of the airport you do start to notice why this airport is one of the best. [View Full Entry]

After a 12hr flight from London Heathrow to Singapore (arrived 0815 local), and with Jon only having an hours sleep the night before we left the UK and a total of 0hrs on the plane - however still managing to watch 5 & something films, we arrive at the airport thinking - oh f*ck! where do we go! After 15mins trying to purchase a train ticket into town, we catch a couple of trains to Bugis Station.

On checking in for our Cathay Pacific flight to Singapore we learn't that we had been upgraded to business class!!!! Gotta say business class on Cathay Pacific is just great!! After loads of champagne, Cathay Pacific cocktails of champagne, Drambuie and zest of lemon & lime plus a few after dinner bourbons, we got into Singapore rather worse for wear!!! Had a 2 hour break then flew with Quantas to Perth. Arrived in Perth at around 1.30 in the morning. We hadn't booked anywhere to stay so decided that phone a few hostels. Got a horrible shock - all the Hostels [View Full Entry]

Hello everyone, I sent a blog yesterday, but it wouldn't publish. Arrived in Singapore via Silk Airlines (was v. nice). Stayed at the Pan Pacific Hotel in Singapore. Super room, lots of space, and immaculate. Walked to Raffles Hotel (World famous hotel - named after English Explorer) and had my Singapore Sling (have pictures). Actually I liked the ones at the Penholder better, but when in Singapore...... Went to a noodle bar for supper. Was a very interesting experience for me, for those of you who don't know I am a little squeamish about food. Anyways had a soup with noodles, [View Full Entry]
