Singapore Slingin it...

Just got to Singapore today. I'm very sad to leave Bali. It was an amazing island with so much to offer. After Ubud we went back to Padangbai for 4 more days. We just chilled at the beach during the day and hung out with the locals at the Reggae Bar at night. We met a group of guys that run the bar and they made our nights so fun. They would have a great time working and talking to the customers. They were always dancing and smiling, night after night. They didn't make too much money, but they were always happy and that's what matters to them. I hope I can live that way. They kept telling us that laughing makes you young, and I do believe it! We were really sad to leave that place, I fell in love with it. I want to go back very soon. I hope I don't say that about every place I visit or I'll never go home!

Singapore is a beautiful city. We got here in the afternoon and found a hostel from a friend we met in Bali. We took the subway and it was so clean and easy. Then we walked around for a bit and had some dinner with a girl we met at the hostel. Of course, Tanya and I can't go anywhere without drama. We sit down at a table outside and order some food. The electricity goes out and a woman comes out yelling, "fire, fire in the back!" Yeah, the fire brigade had to come and they had no electricity for about an hour. But on the good side, our spring rolls were ok! We just can't go anywhere without something crazy happening. What's gonna happen in Malaysia?!

We have to get used to it here, it's so expensive compared to Bali. I hate doing the currency rate in my head, my brain is on holiday...doesn't work with numbers! I gotta buy a little calculator for this stuff. We are planning on staying here until Sunday and then heading to the unknown, Malaysia. We had our trip sorta planned up until now. We have no idea where we want to go in Malaysia. We have to pick, East coast or West coast...I guess we'll find out soon.

The hostel we are staying at is nice. We have dorm rooms of about 20 people, but it has air conditioning. I am excited to sleep. I have been sleeping with the heat for 3 weeks and been dreaming of this moment. On that note, I'm going to bed. Hopefully no one snores! Tomorrow we are gonna do some walking and sightseeing. There's a lot to see in two days. Tell you about it later.
