September 8

So we made it through the night, including boarder crossings and we were dropped off somewhere in Singapore early in the morning. We had no desire to wonder around looking for our hostel, so we took a taxi and got settled into "Bettle Box" our hostel. It is a very friendly place. After taking a much needed shower (after 26-hours straight of travelling and did I mention the rest stops only had stand up toilets?), Syd and I walked around our little neighborhood here and found some lunch. Then we joined about 10 people from our hostel for a tour of Chinatown. A girl who works here took us all over the area and then down to the river front. Although the sights were nice, talking to our very unique and distinct hostel-mates was more (shall I say) entertaining. Syd and I crashed pretty early, but I think I'm going to like Singapore!
