SINGAPORE - western country in South-East Asia

Singapore

Back on the road! This time Roby and me are going to the Southeast Asia! Our journey to Southeast Asia began in Singapore. Singapore was our transfer point between Paris and Bali, but we had a few days to explore Singapore. Singapore is westernized city-state, everybody speaks English, signs are on English, skyscrapers and business towers in the center, high-tech environment!

WHERE TO STAY IN SINGAPORE?
I can highly recommend to stay at Fernloft hostel in Little India. It was a nice hostel, with a friendly atmosphere, lovely staff and clean facilities.  Hostel offers a free breakfast and free Wi-Fi & Internet. On the ground floor there is a nice bar & reception and a little outdoor terrace. They also have a massage chair which was amazing after a long trip! Fernloft India is a excellent place to stay in Singapore!

If you are looking for a cheap and delicious food in Singapore, Mustafa center is a perfect place for you! Around Mustafa center in Little India you can find many Indian restaurants and shops. If you are looking for more western type of food, you can go to the City Green Mall where you can find many restaurants and fast food!

Signs in Singapore

SIGNS EVERYWHERE!!!
 What we didn't like about Singapore are all the restriction signs on the street! You can't fucking do anything! NO SMOKING! NO FISHING! NO BIKE! NO RUNNING! And wherever you go there is a voice navigating you! WTF? Also, when you are waiting on a traffic lights, there is sing "PUSH FOR THE GREEN MAN!" Really? Some of those signs are helpful but that's just too much!

BE PREPARED! SINGAPORE IS EXPENSIVE!
Singapore was very interesting but expensive experience. We visited Singapore twice on this trip, on the beginning and on the end of our journey. Count on the "western" prices in Singapore! We were  almost hungry on the way back! Roby and me shared a last cigarette on the roof of Singapore Airport, waiting for the flight to reality!
