Singapore

Day 13: Singapore
Got into Singapore and headed straight to a backpacker place in Little India. It's been a long time since I have slept in dorm accomodation but it was actually quite comfortable (and cheap). The thing about these sort of joints is the people there are ultra friendly, far removed from the keep-to-themselves types you get when you are spending a few more bucks on a hotel or resort. Met up with a couple of other Australians and some Irish lads and we spent the afternoons around the streets on Singapore, most notably at an Indian restaurant which nearly put one of them into hospital with an extra hot mutton masala. Lightweights :)
Regrettably I never went on a proper tour of Singapore so I haven't really done the tourist thing and seen all the landmarks, no doubt i will be back there some time soon so will have to do it then.
The mighty Malaysian Warriors played against the Singapore Wombats on Saturday, a valiant effort despite a tragically undermanned team due to illness and injury. Went to an Irish Pub called Obama's for drinks afterwards, I think every team in the overseas AFL league is sponsored by an Irish pub. Had alot of drinks there and fell asleep in front of the big screen in the lounge of the backpackers, very early flight the next day and suprise suprise I was worse for wear on the flight to Manila, made all the worse by the fact that the ATM in Changi airport was broken and i was landing in Manila with 3 dollars in my wallet.
Will post tomorrow on how that worked out...
