Finally in Singapore

After 13 hours on a rather huge British Airways Jumbojet, which sported fancy sleeping cubicles (although none of that luxury for us) we have now finally landed in humid, sweaty and lovely Singapore. We have now been travelling for over 24 hours and are starting to feel the strain. The long flight was made short by us falling asleep for about 7 of the 13 hours and although our feet are swollen and our asses are aching, we consider the flight to have been not so bad. :D

Already on the flight from Oslo to London we stumbled upon four other Norwegians, all of them 21 from Stavanger and a girl from Fredrikstad who also were going to Singapore (for a week) and then to Sydney for a year of Working Holiday. This is when we stopped feeling special. We exchanged information and are meeting up with them tomorrow to tag along when they have a local friend show them around. They had a hotel in the prostitute area, we on the other hand have opted for a hostel, Sleepy Sam's (picture below) about £10 pr nite (100 kroner) including wireless internet and breakfast. Alright we share the room with 4 other girls and there is a communal shower and toilet AND we are situated right next to a mosque (picture above) which has already greated us with some Arabic prayers, but I'd still say that is value for money.

Cutest thing was we had to take off our shoes in the hallway before entering the hostel :D

We have now made friends with a British girl in our room, travelling Asia for 3 months on her own, and we might join her tomorrow for a Night Safari at the local (apparently world reknown) zoo.

Did I mention this place has aircondition? Think we'd die without it!!!

Right outside our door is a little pedestrian street (gågate) with restaurants and shops. We are now going out for a bite to eat (neither of us really keen on the airplane cousine (I was thinkin of giving it to you Hannah;), although the British breakfast we were served this morning was edible. Now we want something proper :D and then we'll go exploring the area before we have a nice sleep in beds, BEDS oh yes beds not a chair!!!! :D:D:D

By the looks of this gorgeous city there will soon be loads of pictures to enjoy :D

C u soon!!!
