I have checked out of my hostel but the weather is horrendous; it's raining heavily. 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.

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".

However it is a great hostel with a nice bar, fragrant rooms, and free Interne...

I finally arrived in Singapore after an exhausting 12 hour flight and collected my luggage which was a little wet (my contact lens solution had exploded in the cargo hold). I somehow managed to navigate my way through the modern, spacious concourse and eventually reached the train station. The train was prompt and once on board I realised what a cultural melting pot this place is: Muslim Indonesians, Indians, Malaysians, Chinese and Tamil faces all surrounded me....
