Hi everyone
Unfortunately my hostel is fully booked for tonite so have to go to another, but utilising the free t'internet whilst i'm still here ;-)
It was an emotional departure from Heathrow. I was almost in tears upson seeing my mums face, knowing that we were both holding back tears. Very sad indeed!
Luckiliy enough for me I was asked by a stewardess on the plane whether I would move seats as there had been a mix up with the bookings. this was a blessing in disguise as I was moved to sit next to two other travellers who were both feeling a bit down having said good bye to their folks.
Felt better shorly afterwards and then the excitement started to kick in again.
I was given honey and ginger ice cream on the plane as well. Singapore airlines are the nuts!! We had fish for breakfast though which wasn't very nice, especially as we had turbulence which almost resulted in me throwing up.
Finally got to Singapore and luckily enough, there was a cool Londoner called Tim who cheked in just before me. He used to workfor Info med (they supply the macro stuff to Roche) and has also lived in Brighton. Small world or what. Went to Chinatown where we were royally ripped off, but had a nice meal all the same. They even itemised the freshening towls on the bill. Cheeky gits!
Wenton to Clarke Quay which was pretty nice. I agree with you Jay, the place is ingeniously designed. Tried to go to Boat quay, but eneded up going towards Marina bay, which is also very nice.
Anyway Hopefully, my next message will be a bit more exciting and will have loads more to tell.
Bye for now!
