Having Fun Already
Hello again my body seems to have adjusted, despite my nap and going to be after 3am everyday since. Guess that is a good sign that I am having fun though. Hostels are absolutely wonderful places because you get to meet the most interesting people who share many of the same interests as you. Hence why they are traveling also. A few of us bought a case of beer last night and hung out on the roof chatting for quite a while last night. Same as in Australia most of them are English, but I’m not holding that against them.
I’ve decided that while Singapore is an incredibly clean and well run city it is a city much like all the others I’ve been to and will be heading out today. I’m taking a bus to Malyasia and will start my journey northward. I haven’t done much research on this part of the trip so I will be winging it and open to whatever catches my eye at the time. That should give me a few interesting stories and pictures to share when I find the time to let you know about them instead of going to find even more. Until then …
Overseas (Finally)
Just letting everyone know I made it to Singapore ok after a bit of adventure, but that is part of traveling. When I woke up Wednesday morning I found out that all flights out of San Diego were canceled due to fog! I called United and they could get me Tokyo that day, but I would miss my connecting flight there. It was still quite early in the day so my mom called into to work and took the day off so we could drive up to Los Angeles and catch the flight I was originally supposed to be on. That worked out fine and the rest of the flights had no issues. Certainly woke me up quickly after a late night.
I headed into the downtown/river area of Singapore today to wonder around and get my bearings. Its an interesting mix of skyscrapers and old buildings with even more new ones going up. Everyone here speaks English so it has been quite easy to get around. I came back for a quick nap and just woke up 5 hours later at 10:30pm so maybe the nap wasn’t a good idea after all. Looks like I’ll be up a while, especially since my body is telling me its 7:30am. Maybe a few beers will help me fall back asleep sometime tonight??? Sounds like its worth a try. Until later.
