Singapore

After one long two-legged flight we arrived to our hostel all very tired - no wonder as there was quite a lot to do on the flight. I would definately recommend Qatar Airline to anyone - it was our cheapest option but it was one of the best flights I've been on. Sleeping in a 12 bed dorm just by little India. Last night we went to a hotspot called Clarke Quay where we spent wayyyy too much money on our first meal, and we didn't even drink more than 2 beers each. Nonetheless it was a good experience but we've learnt our lesson to be a lot more budget-savvy.
We're now sitting in an internet cafe opposite the famous raffles hotel. Although to drink a Singapore Sling from its origin would be nice, it is distinctly out of our price range. Although we've paid to stay in our hostel one more night, we're thinking about getting an overnight train tonight to Penang, Malaysia as it is a 14 hour journey and getting it tomorrow would just wipe out a day. The fact that the sooner we leave Singapore, the sooner and longer we can chill on the secluded beaches in Koh Phangan, Thailand.
We're en route to the bus station to find out the length and price of a journey out of Singapore - as we're undecided whether the S$60 price tag on a train journey is a rip off or not.
If we do decide to leave tonight, we'd get a train at approximately 10pm and aim to only spend one night in Georgetown, Penang. This would mean we then leave the following day to Koh Phangan where we will spend a few nights chilling on the beaches and attending the Black Moon Party (13th Feb). This also means that it is unknown when we'll next be able to reach an internet cafe.

All in all we're in pretty good spirits and dealing well with the jetlag, after being a little grouchy for the first 24hours.
