Singapore Slings at Raffles.

Singapore Slings at Raffles.

We are in Singapore now, after flying down from Cambodia yesterday. For those of you who have been in Singapore, you will know it is a bit pricier than the rest of SE Asia, so for the first time on this trip our budget limitations find us in a hostel. Although we are geographically in the same place as most of our co-habitants, we are not really in the same place, if you know what we mean......well we're certainly not in the same place as the 18 year old boys in the two bunks opposite. Some of our differences include:

- We just got up at 7am to miss the rush for the shared shower room and get out to see the sights, while they just got in from a club about an hour ago.

- We don't believe in the Lynx effect.



- We can whisper.

- We know that Trinidad and Tobago is not in Africa. No joke, one of them said it.

Ah, the youth of today!

Anyway, this place is wonderfully clean and ordered compared to where we've just come from, so we're off out to bask in its modern cleanliness.

We have a blog and some fab photos from Cambodia (which was am-asian) but it's taking a little longer to get organised with that. We just had to write this one now and tell you, simply because we're up so blinking early and the dorm haven't started serving brekkie yet! Not easy pushing thirty you know.

Great to meet you t'other day and share a cocktail at Raffles. Still laughing about the Mick Jagger Story - genius. The above is sooo true. Safe travels and good luck on the move back to Glasgow.

Dear Tony and Jeannie, The trip really does sound Am-Asian - make sure you pay a wee visit to the Night Zoo in Singapore - it's like the zoos you get back home except erm, it only opens at night...!

All your news & photos have been really great we're now depressed we didn't take a gap year but we suppose it's too late now we'll just have to live it through all your news and photos.
We're glad we've already heard the Mick Jagger story!!
Enjoy every day of the rest of your trip.
Love you both and keep safe. x
