Singapore

There are 3 main sections to Singapore; Little India, the Centre, and China town.

Little India is definitely the poor part where Indian's have come over to seek jobs. The streets are dirty and the poverty is noticeable, however there are many temples around which are anything but dirty. They are all so bright and colourful, full of religious figures and amazing to look at. The difference between the different religions are noticeable and very interesting.

The centre of the city is heaven for the shopaholics, they range from little market stalls to big designer shops... no need to ask which bit we shopped in!!!!

China town is definitely how you would imagine it... the streets are packed full of stalls and you cant walk very far with out getting hassled. Still, it was a good place to pick up bargains and if your in a bartering mood its great.

While we were here we decided to get in the full swing of things and try the local cuisine... god knows what we have been eating, we would have asked but to be honest we were all a little scared too!!!

Its definitely good to be back in a place where the culture is so different to ours. You find yourselves trying new things, having different yet great experiences, and learning new things everyday.
