We arrived via aircraft from Cebu, Philippines and conquered the city's metro system (very easy and high tech) from the airport to probably one of our favourite hostels, Betel Box located on Joo Chiat Road in Malay Village. We stayed in a 20 - bed dorm, which was very clean, equipped with lockers, internet and free breakfast! It had a wicked common area which was perfect for meeting new friends.

Travelling to Singapore made me extremely happy as when we first landed, I found out that they had a Universal Studios!!! So obviously we made that our first sightseeing trip on our first day! We got up bright and early to make sure that we beat the lines to the park and have as much time as we could exploring the area. Ed ended up befriended a couple girls from the UK and invited them along as well for the adventure. I was so excited, I pretty much ran all the way to the entrance to buy our tickets and make our way to the first attraction. It was definitely not the same as Orlando but it was still a great time. They had all new rides from recent movies such as Madagascar, Shrek and Revenge of the Mummy. After spending many hours walking around the park, visiting every attraction and eating 3 churros each, we decided to call it a day and visit a Candy shop, run fully clothed through a fountain then head back to the hostel.

The second day, we decided to take it easy and tour around the hostel, visiting a couple of temples but mostly reserving our energy for our big night out with a bunch of other travellers at Clarke Quay.
Like I mentioned before, Singapore is strict with no chewing gum or spitting, but they do allow a whole bunch of partyers to drink as much as they want on the public bridge. We didn't believe till we saw it and sure enough here they all are. We ended up making our way to a packed club and enjoyed a long night of dancing till we all headed home for some good conversations and 711's finest, instant mashed potatoes with gravy.
Our final day in Singapore, we decided to see a bit more of the city around Clarke Quay till our next flight to Phuket, Thailand!
