Singapore – February 2010

Singapore was the last stop on my south east Asia trip of six months. Quite apt that it felt as though it’s a middle ground between east and west (though that ‘divide’ is probably worth a whole other discussion, not so clear cut!).

I caught up with my couchsurfing friend Dhugal and my blogging friends Skribe, Ceezedby and JOOB. And even attended a twitter meetup with Dhugal and Skribe!

I ate lots of awesome food in hawker centres (trying different food is a big part of travelling for me, which is definitely not always a good thing!).

Went to the Raffles and had a Singapore Sling and Million Dollar Cocktails, which cost a ridiculous amount of money and I wouldn’t really recommend…

And Dhugal and I visited the Singapore National Museum and learnt how Singapore has become such a developed country so quickly! We got a free guided tour there by a french volunteer!

All the Singapore photos are in this set on flickr.

And so my 6 month trip through Indonesia (Bali, Lombok and Komodo Islands only), Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos and Singapore ended. It was not enough time, but what would be enough time?

Hopefully/maybe I’ll write a blog post at some stage about my overall reflections on the trip. Either way, I had a lot of fun, met a lot of awesome people, and learnt a lot. Mostly about myself I think!
