Singapore

I'm back from Singapore! We left Friday night from Penang and took the overnight bus to Singapore. We arrived Saturday morning around 8am. We spent the first two hours looking for a money changer and for a travel agency (you have to buy a one way ticket in Malaysia and the return in Singapore). In the end this crazy but nice old man took us to an agency and right next to it was a money changer. Thank you old man...whoever you are! After we got our money and our return ticket we set off to find the hotel. Steve being the clever one that he is did some research on the net and found out about the subway system (MRT) and which stop was closest to the hotel. Our hotel ended up being next door to the minister of Singapore. Anyway after we dropped our stuff off we set out to explore the city. On Saturday we headed to the shopping area of the city and in the evening we went to Little India and Chinatown. On Sunday we went to the business area (I made a wish in the fountain of wealth!) and we ended up staying indoors due to rain (luckily there are thousands of malls in Singapore). In the evening we went back to Chinatown. On Monday we went to the island of Sentosa. It seems to be a man made area that is full of resorts and stuff (basically for the rich) but there are beaches and restaurants there and you can ride the monorail for free. We spent most of the day on Sentosa island and in the evening we went back to the hotel to get our stuff and then to the bus station! We arrived in Penang today (Tuesday) at 8:30am, Steve had to go straight to work and I went back to bed! Fun trip!
