Singapore Summary & Darwin Drought

Singapore is snobby, but in as best a way possible.


It's tiny, 204km squared, that's so small(roughly 15miles by 9miles)


Yet there's 4.6million people here! Madness.


Against all odds, we bumped into people who shared the night boat with us. Bumped into people who had served us food in the busy restaurants of Singapore, only to remember us and greet us very enthusiastically.


The best part? The only safe tap water in SE Asia.


The worst part? No seasons; alway hot, heavy rain at times and sticky.
Enough about Singapore I hear you say.

Well one more quick thingy....



In Singapore airport we had a fella ask can he get a photo with us, so we got one with him:



We were as giddy as two young school boys playing conkers.


We looked like this for the entire flight to Darwin:

Myself and Dave want to live in Australia. Our favourite city in the world is Melbourne.

So you can understand we almost had a stroke when we had great trouble getting in...

We were dragged aside, separated, questioned, had our passport handed along from immigration officer to immigration officer, searched, quizzed, drilled and finally let in.

I can't even go into specifics.

What harm, I'm here now! (Cue the evil villain throwing his head back with laughter)

Darwin.

Still can't believe it, the accent, the beer, the people and the heat. It's all here!

A quick waddle to a book exchange has got us a cheap travel guide so we can lok up cheap stuff in the area. But to be honest, we keep talking about Melbourne...

If there was some way there, that was also cheap, I'm pretty sure we would do it.

We've been walking the streets, thinking about what to do. Hence the face continued:

It wasn't long before I found the biggest didge in Darwin to take my mind of things....
