Sadly we have nearly come to the end of our South-East Asia part of of the trip. We arrived in Singapore after a 5 hour bus journey from Melaka. Immagration was alot smoother than it was when we went into Malaysia.Our first impression of Singapore was EXPENSIVE (compared to the rest of Asia) but very clean and the double of Hong Kong.We found a hostel called Backpackers Cozy Corner, and checked into the cheapest room available which was $45 Singapore dollars (rou...
