Making the most of my stop over in Singapore

I had to get up at 3.30 in order to pack my stuff and get to the airport by 5. After a bit of drama checking in- (the girl at the desk said I couldn't get on the flight cos I didn't have a return flight!) I made it on the plane.

At the airport

As I had 16 hours before my next flight, and as you don't need to pay for a visa for Singapore, I headed out of the airport. I headed to the metro to catch a train out of the airport. A man at the airport had advised me of a good place to go, so I got the train there.

The tube in Singapore 

Singapore is a city- country, so you can get round the entire country using the metro. It felt very different to the rest of Aisa as lots of Western businesses are based there, so it reminded me a lot of London.

After checking out the mall which seemed pretty cool, I checked into a cheap hostel to get some sleep. I have a friend who lives in Singapore so I'd arranged to meet him after work.

I headed out on the Metro and we headed out to the (sky bar) - the bar in a very posh hotel that overlooks the whole city. 

Looking up at the sky bar

The hotel was ridiculously posh and wearing my shorts and t-shirt I didn't think I'd get in. Luckily we were allowed up to the bar at the top.

The harbour side

The view was incredible and you could see for miles. A lot of banks and businesses have offices in Singapore so it is full of tall buildings.

When we'd finished our drinks and taken in the view, we headed to China Town for dinner. It is a whole area full of Chinese restuants, temples and stalls.

After dinner, I went back to the hostel for a quick nap then back to the airport to catch my 2.30am flight. The flight was pretty uneventful. When I touched down in Bali, I checked into a backpackers who told my after I paid that I couldn't check in till 2, or have a refund. I stayed there until 12 then checked into another hotel.
