GOODBYE JAPAN HELLO SINGAPORE

SINGAPORE | Monday, 16 November 2009 | Views [460] | Comments [1]

AFTER A NIGHT OF NO SLEEP, BECAUSE I WAS SCARED I WOULD SLEEP IN AND MISS OUR PLANE TO SINGAPORE. WE WHERE OFF FOR ANOTHER JOURNEY AND FINALLY OUR LAST TRAIN RIDE IN JAPAN,. I AM HAPPY I EXPERIENCED JAPAN THE THINGS I WILL REMEMBER THE MOST ARE THE 14,000 7-ELEVENS IN TOKYO WITH ALL THE SUSHI INSIDE, THE NO-ENGLISH, THE SUPER-TOILETS, THE EFFECIENCY OF THE TRAIN SCHEDULES NOTHING RUNS LATE, HOW CLEAN EVERYTHING IS ( I EVEN SAW A LADY SCRUBBING THE SIDE WALK WHEN WE WHERE LEAVING), VENDING MACHINES ON THE STREET THAT WILL GIVE YOU A HOT COFFEE IN A CAN AND HOW THERE IS NO INTERACTION WITH DEALING WITH MONEY NO ONE TOUCHES HANDS ANYWHERE.

BUT WE ARE OFF FOR A NEW ADVENTURE AND SINGAPORE IS WAITING. WE TOOK A 7HOUR FLIGHT FROM TOKYO AND I WATCHED 3 MOVIES ON IT. WE HAD A GERMAN GUY SITTING BESIDE US HE WAS OLD AND HAD SMELLY BREATH AND ALL HE COULD TALK ABOUT WAS HOW THERE WAS NO BUSINESS CLASS SEATS LEFT AND HE ISNT USE TO FLYING ECONOMY BASICALLY HE JUST BRAGGED ABOUT HIS MONEY! WE FLEW SINGAPORE AIRLINES AGAIN AND I DO HAVE TO SAY IT IS THE BEST AIRLINE I HAVE BEEN ON, GOT TO LOVE THE HOT TOWELS THEY GIVE YOU AND THE BLANKETS AND PILLOWS AHHH AND ALL THE WINE YOU WANT |! YUMM YUMM THIS PLANE WE FLEW IS SUPPOSABLY THE BIGGEST IN THE WORLD IT HAD AGAIN TWO FLOORS AND HELD 388 PEOPLE.

WHEN ARRIVING IN SINGAPORE THE AIRPORT AGAIN WAS SPICK AND SPANE NO DUST TO BE FOUND ON OUR IMMIGRATION PAPER THAT THEY GOT US TO FEEL OUT SAID IN BOLD LETTERS IF FOUND DRUGS IMMIEDIATE DEATH PENTALY AHHH NOT THAT WE WOULD EVER BUT THERE IS STRICK RULES HERE, IN SOME PLACES YOU CANT EVEN CHEW GUM, AFTER GETTING OUR BAGGAGE WE TOOK A CAB TO OUR HOSTEL AND ON THE WAY SAW SOME OF THE SIGHTS THERE IS PALM TREES EVERYWHERE AND EVERYTHING IS SOO GREEN IT WAS 30 DEGREES WHEN WE GOT HERE BUT WAS RAINY SLIGHTLY, AFTER WE GOT DROPPED OFF AT THE HOSTEL WE SETTLED IN AND WENT OUT TO SEE LITTLE INDIA IT IS THE PART OF TOWN WE ARE IN, WE WALKED THE STREETS AND WHERE THE ONLY GIRLS IN THE CROWDS FULL OF INDIAN MEN, WE FELT UN-EASY SO WE WENT INTO THE SHOPPING MALL, THE SHOPPING MALL WAS A DREAM REALLY NICE SHOES FOR 20$ I MAY HAVE TO BUY SOME AND SEND THEM HOME THANK GOOD FOR POSTAL SERVICE.

Hey Stacey, I am glad you made it safely! How long are you there for? The drug part would be my main concern going on you trip. I watched a movie once and I cannot remember if the drugs were snuck into their bags or if they agreed to carry something over, but it ended up being drugs and they went to jail. Yikes! Oh yeah by the way you only have 153 days till you come home!
