Singapore II

After spending three days with Sven from couchsurfing we had to move, because he had another friend coming to his place. Luckily we found another host via couchsurfing so we moved there. We stayed quite close to the beach which was really nice. Apart from the beach we also visited some other sights in Singapore.

Chinatown was lots of shopping and food. The place was extremely crowded but there were beautiful lights because Chinese New Year is coming soon. What I especially liked were the old and colourful buildings there and thaqt you could try lots of new food.



Little India wasn't as spectacular as Chinatown but still had its own charm. You can find some super delicious Indian food there and afterwards go Sari-shopping. I find Indian cloths extremely beautiful and in little India you can find all kinds of different styles and colours. There is also a small Hindu temple that you can visit.

I didn't spend much time in Arab street but there was a great mosque that would definitely be worth visiting. Apart from this I've heard that they sell some of the best food in town there.

We also went to the beach at East Coast Park. You could rent bycicles and roller blades there, it has a beach volleyball field and you can also go swimming, even though the view was not that nice, cause you couldn't see the horizon due to the fact that the sea was full of ships.



We had already visited Marina Bay Sands during our first stay but the downtown district is still one of my favourite places in Singapore, especially at night you have a great view with all the lights. On my last evening I went with a friend to the Grand Theatre there to watch the Musical wicked, which I totally recommend. Even though this Musical is only there for a couple of weeks, there are definitely other interesting shows coming to town soon.

For New Year we went to Clark Quay, which is the party and bar area in Singapore. It was extremely crowded but still fun. I especially like hanging out at "the bridge" which is very famous in the couchsurfing community. For New Year people were bringing spraying foam at each other there ant in the end everyone smelled like the spray you use for toilets.
