I never realised how much of a drain travelling is, over the past week I have explored the tropical Singapore with my family. It was incredible, and such a new experience, (not the travelling part, the Singapore bit) that coming home I am stumped as to how to take my time. Apart from the fact, my younger siblings simply wanted to spend a weeek shopping, which in itself is a drain.... there is so much stuff, and people we met that its hard to work out what exactly went down when...

Some highlights though;
-trying my mum's idea of "pineapple" at a thai restaurant... turned out to be tapiocha which for all you who have not tasted it, it resembles something like wax, and is definitely not pineapple!
-Singapore, particularly Orchard Rd, at night! It is so beautiful with all the shopping centres, and different plaza's all lit up and sparklyy
-The Night Safari! OMG if you head to Singapore, apart from a whole heap of cash to shop your lights out, the Night Safari is the BIGGEST recommendation I probably will give. Most of you must be thinking, hang on a second a zoo is a zoo, and once you've seen one you have seen them all! well think again my friends, this branch of the singapore zoo, the night safari is indeed spectacular, you are welcomed by a very tribal performance with fire dancers, fire eaters, and even some flame throwing before heading off on either the train or the night walk with the many wonders of the night being insanely accessable and while most zoo's the animals seem to spend all day sleeping, these animals seem to have come alive with daylight falling.... from walking into enclosures with fruit bats and flying squirrals with a nack for gliding close to your head, to lions that roar, and even fight... to playful otters and many many other wonders...

So my prognossis, when on a short adventure like mine, expect to see many wonders, experience many different things, and be prepared for lots of dirty washing and an extreme tiredness when you get home....
