Why hello hello. How exciting, the first of my travelling blog thingie, when I am actually travelling. This must be quick because I am to go for a walk soon with some new English friends. I am sitting in this sweet backpackers in little india, very chilled back and cool people all around. I have already found you are never alone in the backpacking world, and also that this is the best fucking thing I could have done. I have been here a night (no sleep, Indian dance music from some seedy bar and lots of snoring, farting and movement from other bunks)and I already love this life. I am better, as well as anything now, no more sickness. Just needed to leave Australia for a while I think.
Trying to get here last night was a joke, walking through 27 degree humid heat with a pack on back is not fun, especially around midnight in an unknown city. Somehow managed to walk to the city? It should have taken 8 minutes, but it took me 2 hours and a cab ride. Ah well. I met a nice cabbie at least. Today checked out some mosques and buddhist, hindu and taoist temples, and had a bit of a walk around. Singapore is a strange place, its as though it doesn't really know what it is trying to be I think. I will leave in 2 or 3 days and hopefully get to see a few things before then, the orchid farm, the butterfly farm, some museums and a cemetery. Then I will go to Malaysia or Indonesia I think. I am trying to train my stomach to need less food because I don't want to spend the money. But overall I am extremely chilled, relaxed, and fucking loving it. This is life my friends. Shalt keep you updated, right now I may go have a beer and go for another walk. P.S. for those worried the Indian guys stare at my blondenes as is expected but so far no dodginess, woo! Speak soon lovers. Will let you know when I am somewhere, perhaps in Sumatra, where you can send me stuff. Will post photos when I can be bothered. Love you all.
