You might have had snow but god it's hot here!

Wow it's warm!

Apparently it is winter here but as we are only a couple of hundred Km from the equator, not sure "winter" makes a blind bit of difference!

Been here for four days now. Singapore seems to be a city of contrast, demonstrated best yesterday. We ate out and two meals cost us less than two pounds (brilliant!) but then went for a drink in Raffles Hotel and two drinks cost us 15 pounds!!!! Was worth it though. Lisa had a Singapore Sling and I had a Tiger beer.

Last night we went on the Night Safari at Singapore Zoo. It was really cool -saw lots of different animals, many of them nocturnal.

The Hostel ('Sleepy Sams' Paul if you need a place to stay in Singapore $25 pppn) we are stopping in is interesting. We sleep in a dorm with 15 other people. Quite a cool little place though. It doubles up as a Cafe downstairs. Breakfast is great lots of fresh fruit, toast and the best tea I have had since we have been travelling. Location is really nice and the staff are really friendly.

Our Road in Singapore
Bit different from Farwells Close isn't it! We live in (Our Hostel) the green building to the left. We even get a wake up and dinner time call when the Mosque calls prayer.

Raffles Hotel
Unfortunately we had to enter by the back door. Don't think they know who Lisa and I are!!!!!!!!!

Me with my Tiger Beer
It is traditional to throw your peanut shells on the floor

Lisa and her Singapore Sling in Raffles
Couldn't afford the 2000 pounds per night room rate so had so had a 10 pound cocktail instead.

A lot of fruit!!
The fruit here is amazing. We get a really nice selection for breakfast at the hostel everyday

A typical 'wet market' in Singapore
VERY stinky!!!! Lots of fish and chicken's feet!

Places to see
Not sure whether you are still in Singapore but a couple of places worth trying to find. On Clarke Quay - Brewekz where they brew their own beer and you can buy a taster set of all the beers, well worth doing! Also, Anywhere Bar, at the top of a shoppping block, i think just off Orchard Road, but it plays the best live music i have heard in years! Enjoy, love Jancis x
