.. so we left Vietnam in the morning of January 29, caught a short flight to Singapore (you can see the whole country from the air.. it's hard to imagine such a tiny country being so powerful in terms of its economic influence) and went outside, caught a taxi and went around sightseeing.
The first thing you notice is how clean it is compared to Vietnam, where people would regularly throw their trash onto the road and spit on the footpath... disgusting. Compared to Singapore, where you don't see trash on the street at all. Another thing you notice is how cheap the things in Singapore are compared to Australia, another wealthy country. Like, an easyway-type drink only costs around AU$1 over there, and clothes/gear at full price is probably atleast 20% cheaper than the same things at full price in Australia despite Australia having a lower GDP/capita. Hmm... maybe we're just getting ripped off hard by the stores.
So after walking around and checking out the stores for quite a long time, we took the MRT back to Changi Airport and left for Melbourne and then Sydney. Ugh, feel so bad about writing a simple, boring recount instead of a "real" blog post =/
Ah wells, here are some pictures:
Massive traffic jam. Took 3 hours to cross a bridge..
Leaving the hole known as Vietnam
Fine dining... this shit cost $14....
Around Singapore
iPad on flight to Melbourne :D
So... yeah. Feels awesome to be back. Lifted weights for the first time in over a month on Tuesday. Struggled alot with the 60kg squat which was pretty easy before, ended up feeling unusually weak and vomited after about an hour of working out =[ Oh wells, it was probably just the sudden "shock" of intense physical activity after a month of laziness.
