Singapore part 2

2 meals for £2. Can't fault it.

Singapore was even better the second time round. We stayed in a nicer hostel and we knew where all the best food places were: we picked our hostel based on its vicinity to the nicest hawker market (Albert street, near Bugis). We basically gorged on food for the 3 days we were there. In addition to eating, we also went on a jungle walk called the tree top walk, where you walk for 4 hours through the jungle, including over a bridge that stretches over the top of the rainforest. We did this walk during a storm, despite the signs warning of lightening strikes (the bridge was metal). We saw lots of monkeys, including one that stole a girls unopened subway sandwich from her hands and ran away with it. We also went to Sentosa Island (a man-made island of fun),the Botanic gardens, Chinese and Japanese gardens. Other than that, we just relaxed and enjoyed being in the vibrant, clean, modern city that is Singapore. I bought a bargain pair of Havaiana flip flops after having lost the ones I bought in Brazil in Auckland. Our hostel owner was lovely and gave us lots of tips on what to do in Malaysia, including giving us a map of where to eat, so it looks like we are about to pile on more pounds as we move north.
