This year as last year, I am finding my self in Singapore, and I have problems sleeping during night. I fell to sleep easily, but wake up again around 2-3 and stay awake till around 5. Then I sleep till around 11, way to late in the day to wake up. Guess it is that I am jetlagged, or it must be. I had 3 nights in my hostel in Singapore, my usual one, River City Inn on Hong Kong Street 33, where I slept in a 6 bed dorm. Maybe, but only maybe, that sleeping in a dorm also disturbe me a little bit.
The flight down was fine, went with Lufthansa and changed plane in Frankfurt, and they kept the time for the flights, not any delays. Wathced some movies on my personal entertainment system on the way, 3 in fact, and got some time for some light sleeping, or at least I closed my eyes behind my sleeping mask, but I do think I managed to sleep a bit on the 11 hours flight from Frankfurt to Singapore. Pretty good. To sit in one chair, almost entirely (some walks to the toilet) for 11 hours is crazy, and I just have to go into the flight zone, and not think about it. It is just nothing one can do as long as you want to go down here, so you just do it. Listen to music, see movies, eat and get some alcohol when you can, try to sleep, read. It works. :-)
Since I have been so many times in Singapore now, I do not have any big plans about what to see any more, and it is "just" a big city, but I like it. It is also nice that I have started to know it a little bit. I spend a lot of the days in Singapore on the MRT, and pop up on different shopping malls for food, coffee, wifi, some shopping, even it would be better to do the shopping home, since it is cheaper in Norway than in Singapore for a lot of stuff. It does not seam that interesting for a vacation, but I enjoyed this days in Singapore this year as well, and I will be back again on my way home in April.
When in Singapore, I usually meet Heidi, this year I forgot to tell her that I was coming down, but it was not any big surprise that I was in Singapore again. Lucky for me, she had time to meet up the 2 nights I had. Sunday, March 1st, I met with Heidi and some friends of her, some beer and good Korean food. All of them sort of local Singaporeans, but not really since they came from Malaysia, India, Canada, Russia, Irland and Japan (?), none from Singapore, but all, or most of them, live in Singapore. Not all of us where togehter all the time, but anyway.... I have never eaten Korean before I think, and I have for sure not eaten it like this, that we all share all the food on the table, and take what we want from the same plate with our shop sticks, have Korean beer with rice wine mixed into it. Tasted great, good fun people to share the meal with, good and fun talks about different subjects, one of mye best nights in Singapore ever. And I am very greatful that Heidi invited me along. Cheers! The next day, Monday, I met up with Heidi again for dinner up in her nighbourhood, half an hour away on the MRT from the city centre, nice and quite nighbourhood, that I never would have seen, ok food at a food court, but a nice evening it was.
Next stop, Nusa Lembongan....See u:)
ps. if you do not know who Heidi is, look through the blog, for a hint, you can go back to Kuching in 2011.
