Singapore

Singapore is a lovely city, clean, metropolitan and with plenty of things to do, the downside is its freakin expensive, and the have a fine for just about everything but there are no police to enforce them, very strange.

The first day we did a walking tour of the city taking in all the tourist things like statues and buildings. There are loads of cool skyscrapers, mostly banks. We saw Mr Raffles himself, the founder of Singapore and also the spiky topped opera house. The evening was interesting we started out with a $50 all you can eat Indian with beer included. We managed to make it to four courses of indian food, prob the best ive ever tasted. We then watched the highlights of the Man U Vs. Roma game on the riverfront.

We then proceeded to a kareoke bar again, for some pool and top draw singing from us and a load of Singaporeans. I think we got through - 3 doors down-kryptonite, linkin park-In the End, the dirty dancing tune-Ive had the time of my life, A meatloaf song i think, Robbie Williams-Betterman and im sure some others I cant remember, I think we could have gone all night. The next stop was a bar to watch the Liverpool game but by this time i'd was toast and retired at bout 330 in the morn, Rastrick and Green returned at 7am after having played winner stays on pool for 2 hrs and not losing once to the locals (Green that is).

The next day we went to Sentosa island at around 4 in the avo after Green finally arose. We went to a Dolphin show, which was pretty cool, seeing a dolphin jump and 10ft out of the water. Next was Underwater World on the travellator to view crazy fish and the highlight was prob the sharks swimming over your head as you travel along in a glass tube. Finally we sceptically went to a kiddies laser show and act which turned out ok, with huge jets of water and flame explosions and fireworks at the end of a singing dancing stage show.

The evening was rounded of at Raffles hotels Long bar for a legendary Singapore Sling, which is just a fancy cocktail and i mean fancy, at 8 pounds a go we werent tempted with more than one, although they are pretty tasty.

Our 3rd day involved heading to a waterpark in the morning and riding the waves in the Tsunami pool, a bit distastefully named! Also a ride called the Samsung Slide-up was interesting as you launched of the water slide in a float you basically shot up the other side and then back down, basically like a half pipe death slide on water!

In the evening we went to the night safari, where you get toured around on a tram, looking at nocturnal animals and the like, the best part was prob walking through a large bat cage with the bats and then actually spotting one, and realising they are about 2ft tall and have a wingspan of around a metre and a half, at least thats what it looked like.

Our final day me and Green watched Sunshine at the cinema while Joe went off on his tod to a desterted island, the results were confirmed, there was nothing there!
