Short but definitely worth it. Singapore was amazing. The moment we got of the train we were strictly monitored and it was made sure that if you tried to smuggle drugs you would get the death penalty. There was no joking. On everything there was a fine, it was illegal to take chewing gum, no spitting and no foul language otherwise 1000 dollars. Honest as we are we decided to not take the risk and declare our dirtcheap cigarettes. 7 dollars tax per package 7...

Our final taste of 5 star luxury. We used our last points for southeast Asia in kuala lumpur.

There we went on a cycle tour to the slums and to an island in Bangk...
