Singapore, Singapore

I arrived to Singapore where I got picked up by a girl from couchsurfing who nicely enough was willing to show me around the city during the day. She took me to some highlights such as the war memorial, colonoral district, little India, their 15 floor library!!! (Alice), other seights I don't remember the name of and orchard street since I really need to get some more shopping done before entering expensive Australia. A private local guide was exactly what I needed to get as much out of my short visit her as possible. And she was happy to share the historical stories as well. 

We said goodbye to each other by the evening as I was meeting up with my host for the night. Since Singapore is a lot more expensive than the rest of Asia, I decided to try some couchsurfing while I'm here. The Indian/Norwegian guy who let me sleep at his couch got a big flat at the 39th floor in the central part of Singapore. Imagine that view. Amazing. We went out for one drink, but ended up back at the balcony of their 39th floor flat, since the price to go for a beer is about the same as back home. 

I woke up quite early the next morning since all the flat mates were heading to work. I decided to hit the road as soon as it started to rain, shitloads of rain. I waited for it to stop for a while, but it seemed to continue raining all day so I went out anyway. I got myself straight to orchard street and H&M where I spent at least 3 hours trying to build my luggage back up. (Yes, I'm traveling across the world just go to the same shops as back home). Funny thing about Singapore is that they got Malls everywhere, And I really mean everywhere. Every 50th meters was a new mall, but not a single one of them got a sportshop. Which was one of the things I really needed to find.  Singapore is also one of the cleanest city I've been to and you can get a fine if you put garbidge on the ground, which is weird since I nearly couldn't find any bins. 

After my massive H&M shopping I went to Chinatown, since the rain cooled down a bit. Chinatown is really nice but a place to get lost. Especially when you'r like my who unlucky got my mothers local mind. I spent some getting lost, finding my way throughout the tine streets of Chinetown before taking the train back to little India and Burgis village, which as I mall who feels more like a market with their cheap prices and small shops. I hate shopping, it was nothing I enjoyd while the day passed by, I felt more sorry for myself. I managed to find my way by walking from Little India back to the apartment, which I'm very proud of. I spent some time with my host before he headed for football training, and went to the airport 4 hours to early. Everyone always been talking about Singapore's airport as one of the best, and that they easily could spent a whole day there. I would never spend a whole day there but a few hours was okay. Got massages and cinemas there but it was a bit to expensive for me. Spent most of the time at the free wifi and netflix, and some more shopping for my last Singaporean dollars until bording time.
