Singapore was pretty good a very nice place id say that is stupidly clean but pretty expensive. The first thing we did when we arrived was go onto the subway which is officially one hundred times better than London for many reasons that are so numerous that i cant be bothered to name them. It was so easy, cheap and pretty cool as i do like the subway as i guess its a bit of a novelty to people in Guernsey. We headed to India town to get some cheap accommodation as we always seem to do and got picked up by some small indian chap who offered us a good deal randomly and we thought we could easily take him if things went wrong so we agreed to check it out and was pretty darn nice so we took it. The first night we went to Clark Quay (i think) which was a bit of a restuarant and bar hotspot and was what i would descibe as being buzzing. The next day we headed to sentosa island by cable car and have never seen so many tankers, cranes etc in my whole life the pictures i took does not show half of them was pretty crazy and a bit of an eyesore. On sentosa we went to the Merlion, (Lions head on a mermaids body my pictures should help) the aquarium which was pretty decent and the beach which was not the best with the sand being fake, the sea being in a bad state and being beaten at beach volleyball by the Singapore beach volleyball local pros (thats my guess anyway) The day after we met this pretty cool Kiwi couple who we went for dinner with and wakeboarding the following day. He was a extreme sports nut so we couldnt say no and it sounded amazing fun. We turned up to this lake thing with a huge cable thing going round the outside seeing people just go round and round, looked easy enough i though. I could not have been more wrong its dam hard and the best i could do after a couple of hours was go about 20 metres to conclude quite poor but it was still awesome fun and really want to do it again or snowboard. The same day we did a night safari which was pretty good saw a load of lions, leopards and a tiger among other things.
That concluded our time in Singapore and we then left to marvel at its airport where they had free internet and foot massage machines (were average at best but again a bit of a novelty.) Now off to the land of OZ which should be bags of fun but ive enjoyed Asia a hell of a lot.
Bring on the BBQ's and Surf.
