Well, Day Three turned out to be very expensive and there goes a month's budget. If you are reading this Phil, at 8 quid a pint you are going to have to sell my car pretty soon unless Thailand turns out to be as cheap as people say it is.Although a really good place to visit, Singapore is comparatively small and if your not into shopping or drinking your bank balance dry, then options are a bit thin on the ground. There is the zoo which was rather disappointing - a load of pissed off looking animals and equally pissed off workers getting very hot and bothered - or Sentosa Island - a Disneyesque theme island with artificial beaches and amusement parks which I have yet to check out.
Back to the cost of things. Although the cost of a pint can vary from 2 quid to 8 quid, other things are good value for money, especially food and electronics.
Nokia Phone 20 quid
Samsund 1GB Memory Card 10 quid
Olympus 1GB Memory Card 20 quid
Chicken fried rice 1 quid
Red Bull 30 pence
On the subject of Red Bull, this is the original blow your head off Asian version not the watered down stuff we get in the UK
The hostel is also fairly cheap at 11 quid a night - more expensive than other hostels - but with spotless rooms, free Internet and free bar then who is complaining.
Anyway, as I move on the chances of updating this blog as regularly as I would like will become more and more difficult especially in the absence of a convenient PC and free Internet.
See you soon
