Heathrow airport... |
The empty chairs at Heathrow after people had boarded the plane, buhbye England... |
I have just arrived at my hostel in Singapore after a 12hours flight.
To be honest I stink and all I want to do is sleep, I am a more then a bit out of it due to the jet lag.
My flight was a pleasant one, I sat next to a lovely old lady (who couldn't work out how to use her tv, bless) who made intermittent conversation with me. The main downside of the flight was the crappy tv they had, but to be fair I did have an emotional moment at the film 'one day' (I
I blame lack of sleep) which I needless to say got very into, so that film at least was a thumbs up.
The first thing that hit me getting of the plane was the heat, its not sunny and its not really even THAT hot but when you are wearing four layers and converse and are struggling with several bags it gets rather sweaty!
After collecting my bag and then putting my big case in the luggage storage section of the airport i was off on my transfer to the hostel. The man who drove me was nice as well, however he spent the whole 30mins lecturing me on why Singapore is so clever and how amazing their government is. However it was nice having someone to talk to and to tell me a bit more about the history; stuff I was not very aware of before.
Upon arrival at the hostel I went into the reception, and to be honest i thought i was at the wrong place, comparing this to hostels stayed in in other parts of south east Asia this is a palace! Complementary breakfast and wifi in every room (which is perfect as I have my laptop with me). The dorm i am staying in is a 5 bed one but at the moment it seems as though i am the only person (I smell like a 13 year old boy so this may be why the room has been cleared of all live), i have a little bed int he corner but because of how the fixtures are arranged my bed is very private which is also night.
I'm not really sure what to do now (other than shower) I am in Singapore alone and unlikely to really meet anyone, I am so tired but do not want to sleep now through fear of not being about to later and i want to make the most of my time.
I think my plan of action will be to go to the lounge room they have hear and see who is about and ask them any tips they have of what to do then go out following the tips I will hopefully get. Then book some sort of tour tomorrow, I was thinking a night safari (so i can sleep) but I will have to look at how I would plan such activities alone....
Anyway, I am pretty certain majority of this post have been incoherent due to my jet lag so I will now stop waffling (and to be honest I am not even going to bother to read this through or spell check so I am sorry in advance!). I will keep everyone updates and also tomorrow I will upload a few photos for you all to see.
But for now I must wash for the sake of everyone.
