I got up this morning and decided to find a new hostel as I didn't particularly like Wake Up! and the people in my dorm were actually uisng that hostel to live in while they work in Sydney so that's not conducive to socialising, for example last night I came in at 8pm and found 3 people fast asleep in their beds!! Some of the guys have been living in the hostel for 6 months! I collected my stuff and checked out, then in the overwhelming heat (35C) I walked ...

G'day folks, today I went to Sydney Harbour and walked around Circular Quay. I had my lunch down by the quayside and then walked through the historic Rocks area up on to the Sydney Harbour Bridge. I paid $8 and walked up to the top of one of the imposing granite tower pylons, the views were amazing! I was tempted to do "Bridgeclimb" whereby you join a group and climb up to the top of the bridge but the price was shocking- $180. I walked through the Central ...

I think as I need to leave at 5pm to go to the airport I should just kick about the hostel for the rest of the day! I'm doing lots of emailing and drinking Milo milkshake which is my favourite Singapore drink. Also you can buy cans of green tea and a variety of other canned teas. I have done everything that Singapore has to offer: BEST BITS- getting lost in the cultur...

Myself and Ruaridh went for a walk through the nearby Mount Emily Park and then managed to find the closest MRT Station, Little India. We got the subway to the harbour and then had lunch in an Italian restaurant called Pastamania which proudly displayed a huge sign saying "NO MSG". I think that's why I haven't really enjoyed the Chinese food I've had here. Apparently they use huge amounts of MSG in their food and it really makes you thirsty and can also give you ...
