Singapore...

I left Kuala Lumpur by coach, which at such a cheap price for a journey that took 6 hours I wasn't expecting much, however the coach had huge reclining leather seats with a foot rest, your own small T.V. screen, a meal and free tea or coffee throughout the journey! My hostel in Singapore is really nice and was joined on my first night by a lovely Scottish girl also traveling on her own. Neither of us really had any plans and she was only here for the one day so we headed down to the marina and took a ride on the Singapore flyer, which is like the London eye but 30 metres higher. We were amazed by the view, the skyline has to be one of the best I have ever seen. When we reached the top of the wheel we realised that road going around the bottom was actually the F1 track and were then pretty excited to realise that we had just been walking on it (well I was anyway with my dad being such a huge F1 fan). That night we headed into little india for a curry which was all kinds of delicious! Day two in Singapore I headed out to the zoo. I had a brilliant time and fell in love with the elephants, you should expect a lot of pictures when I can finally upload some! I'm not a huge fan of zoos and personally find them a bit cruel but was very impressed by the amount of freedom the animals have there, they seem to be really well looked after. Day three, my two new dorm mates and I headed back down to the marina which I returned to again later that evening to check out the skyline at night and caught a little glimpse of a parade they were having in celebration of the chinese new year. Speaking of Chinese New Year I feel I have neglected to mention how brilliant it has been being in Asia during this time. The atmosphere has been great and the celebrations and decorations have been brilliant to see. So far Singapore has been my favourite place but am really excited to get to my next destination...Australia!
