Stuart and I spent the majority of this evening thus far watching a singing competition in the mall.
Our hostel is quite pricey *but so is EVERYTHING in Singapore...
it's the absolute cheapest place out there... and maybe for a reason! There is no sign outside indicating it's a hostel, and the woman who received us was about a thousand years old and didn't speak any english... and she talked and talked and talked and talked to us, trying to tell us stories in Chinese or.. whatever.
We think she was crazy or something because she didn't pick up on our shrugs and our 'are you kidding?!' looks.
It was hilarious.
Gumborie:
Gum is not allowed in Singapore. Actually, our friend Mike (from Singapore) told us that gum itself is not illegal, just the selling of gum.
Yes, chewing gum.
In fact, it is illegal (as Stuart found out the hard way at the border crossing).
First off, we had liquor... and totally forgot we'd have to pay duty on it, and then there was this stupid tiger beer we've been carting around...
actually, you know what... I'm not going to tell the story. It'll be better in person.
Tomorrow we're considering going to Universal Studio's. It costs a fortune but we're at the end of our trip and may as well go out with a bang... maybe. Stuart's trying to convince me.
