Well here we are in Singapore, plane trip with Jetstar was ok, didn't take long so that was a plus, on the down side, I noticed yesterday I have a sore forehead, which come from sleeping with my head on the seat in front, which is the only way I can guarantee I won't snore or dribble. ... Hotel Carlton is very noice, in the business centre of Singapore, so all very posh. ... Went to the Singapore Zoo yesterday, fantastic place really. ... Singapore is very modern, and yet many trees, the trip to the Zoo reminded me of going up the Kuranda Range without the windy roads, the trees are similar. ...

Land no probs in Singapore and get the train to Bugis and then walk to Little India, get a dosa for a Singapore dollar and then check into the hostel there. ... It's more expensive to travel in SE Asia than India, especially in Singapore, and there's not one pair of fisherman trousers or mala beads to be seen; it's all t-shirts and jeans. ... When last here, it had only been two or so months since I'd been home and then Hong Kong, and I was still getting over a bout of Dengue fever, so I didn't really think much of Singapore, it just seemed like another big city, albeit very clean (too clean). ...
