The adventures begin,...Singapore.... A little disappointed that the first leg of our Asian adventures seemed so westernised, definitely not what I was imagining and so expensive, we only had 2 days here and yet we managed to spend at least 3 weeks worth of our budget, not a good start, though to be honest every country we'd been to so far we have spent more than our allocated budget, I guess that's just one of those things.
