day 20 - singapore
Submitted by spw on Thu, 02/19/2009 - 05:36Last night or day going, tomorrow my "final"stop for this call.
Heading to Kuching, Malaysia tomorrow at sometime (dont have a clue, prolly have to check, hehe).
Been burning my skin here and see some night sights.
Went to the Night Safari yesterday here, which is basically a Zoo with lights turned off. Which is nice, no doubt about it, but they could've but something more there too. They also had a show which were "shown" every 30minutes, it was the same every time, and was a bit boring (for me anyway) in the end.
I also went around the city esplanade park and saw some huuge and not so huge buildings with weird looking architecture. Also again, almost burned my skin.
off ..
day 17 - singapore
Submitted by spw on Mon, 02/16/2009 - 10:48Greetings from Singapore. . it's +32 degrees and cloudy.
Haha, came here yesterday, and I have to say, thank god I had a hoodie on because it was ONLY +33 when I walked out of the plane. Had to take a taxi to the hostel because I seriously could not bother to walk and take a metro. Not for the Finns, this weather.
Okay, been a long time since I last time wrote something so.. I'll update a bit.
I spent 4nights in Hong Kong. After the night out and the excursion to The Peak, on Friday we headed out to Macao. There's some pictures from there. Its like a small Vegas in Asia, you have to take a ferry from Hong Kong and need to go through some passport checks. It was a nice place to go to as IT was so full of lights and huuge casinos, AND of course money. You could see that We were in a wealthy place where they spend a lot of money to improve and make their buildings look more attractive. I went on playing a few rounds of roulette and lost 50euroes. woopsiee.. that's a lot. hehe.. After that we headed back to our hostel at 9pm .. or something like that. .
Then on the next, when it was VALENTINES day, I ALONE headed to see the Big Buddha, which is on top of a big mountain (as you can see from the pictures down there). I seriously couldn't see anything, the first "bad" weather day, sunny but rainy as well, and foggy as hell. I was so spooky going up there wit a cable car, as you could only see about 1m forward from it. I was so waiting for a monster to grab or something like that.. ( I've prolly watched too many movies). Yeah, after the trip and the hike I had to go to the hostel and sort my shit out because I was leaving to Singapore on Sunday.
And Now I'm here. :) Today went pretty well, went to the beach for few hours and walked around a bit. Its too hot to walk long ways out. . but I'll do some of that tomorrow..
so laters ..
