Don't eat the leaves.

One city down into the trip and it already feels like we've been away for weeks on end. The jet lag is still knocking us about despite being here for a couple of days. Late nights are accompanied by 8 o'clock rises and 4pm power naps.

Singapore has been pretty much what I expected, a major tourist hub of Asia and a powerhouse of the culinary world. It's safe to say we have eaten very well here for next to nothing. No matter what time of the day it is you can find some little restaurant open that will sell some freshly cooked wholesome food, healthy definitely but not in the portions we eat.

The first visit of our jouney to Singapore was Universal Studios where we released our inner child and let loose on all the rides from the kiddies Madagascar ride to the full on roll a coaster that would definitely challenge Port Aventura's Dragon Khan and certainly make Carney shit his keks.

The nightlife here seems to be buzzing but our inability to cope in pants restricted us in some places, but there's nothing wrong with chilling on a bridge full of people having bevvies and saying hello. Either way, KL will be sure to make up for it. Pub crawls are most certainly a necessity of any city that wants to thrive.

With a slight hangover we headed down to Chinatown, we couldn't not go there really. A visit to the Chinese Heritage Museum and a walking tour gave us a great insight to the history and culture of this city and how it's always stayed traditional even in modern times. We experienced the first drops of rain today but it wasn't a tropical storm that we feared thankfully so we ventured to Marina Bay to take in the sights of some incredible buildings and to soak of the sun.

 

All in all Singapore is definitely on the list for a return visit, a bit more homework and this city could be right up there with the likes of Berlin and Amsterdam. Tonight is the start of something similar to Mexico's Day of the Dead which should be interesting. Everyone will be glad to know that nothing disastrous as happened as of yet, apart from Chen cutting his heel and pouring blood all over Universal Studios. Tomorrow is Kuala Lumpur and the return of Victor Truong to the adventures.
