Booked a driver for the day and went into the Angkor Archaeological Park (400sqkm). First stop Angkor Wat! Wow! What a gigantic temple complex. One can literally spend hours there. Then I went on to walk through the even bigger complex of Angkor Thom, Bayon (9sqkm) and the famous Ta Prohm, the "Tomb Raider Temple" where they filmed the Lara Croft-movie. Got home exhausted. The humidity level is unparalleled! Buchte einen Fahrer fuer den Tag und fuhr in den Angkor...

Since I was glued to the fascinating "Gardens by the Bay" until late last night I only got about 3 hours of sleep before I had to pack for the airport. Got there at 4:30 and checked in with Tiger Airways again. As we took off I was rewarded with a beautiful sunrise. Arrived in Phnom Penh at 8 and organized a bus to Siem Reap. Ending up with a bus company locals use rather than the fancier tourist buses I was the only westerner and curiosity in the vehicle ;)The d...

Went to pick up my new iPod. And they really were able to get one for me overnight. I'm feeling like a lost limb got reattached ;)Checked out the extraordinary stylish interior design of the new ArtScience Center and the Marina Bay Sands Hotel. Had a $20 drink at the rooftop bar "Ku De Ta", of course ;) But the true star of Singapore's recent urban development is the creation of the new 101 hectares public botanical "Gardens by the Bay". 8 years ago there...

Got up and walked through the rain to the Apple Store to exchange or fix my broken iPod. Next problem. No repair possible. They can exchange it under the warranty. But unlike in the US or Europe you have to wait 3 days for the delivery. WTF! Why could Apple Australia not tell me when i called them that i had to wait 3 days in Singapore for a replacement? I could have booked my flight accordingly. It's bulls*** anyway! Now i only have 24 hours. After some heat...

Early afternoon i flew from Bali to Singapore with cheap JetStar again. By the way, Singapore, if you wanna welcome visitors don't put rude and lazy staff at the airport train ticket counter who rather sends people to overcrowded ticket machines than selling them one. What a funny coincidence. After 8 years i am back almost to the day. Also back in my hostel, the InnCrowd. Not much has changed except for the now free but slow internet and the flatscreens. Wen...
