We are now in Singapore. We found Singapore surprisingly diverse. It's like two cities really. There is the clean business and tourist district and the backpacker district which is located in little India, a vibrant maze of markets, shops, bars, cafes, mosques and closed down internet cafes. This area buzzes with life but is still quite clean and tidy.
The hostel we are staying in is called the InnCrowd. I would not recommend it at all. Do not stay at the InnCrowd. It costs 60 singapore dollars per night which is, at the moment, about 50 Aussie dollars, for a double room with a shared bathroom. It's pretty run down, its loud, the aircon hardly works at all, the staff are rude and unfriendly and their supposed free internet is three computers which are always busy and seem to rely on a pretty crappy wireless connection. They seem to have an issue with their wireless connection where doesn't work at all on one of the PCs. I think its because there is a limited amount of connections available. I had this crazy idea that it would be cool to travel the world going from hostel to hostel fixing up their PC's and internet services in exchange for free accommodation. There would be a kind of freedom and xen to that life that I'd love.
I am a big grumpy with this post, probably because of the humidity !!

Harboured resentment over possibly the worst picture of the Sydney Harbour bridge
I only had one shot, I was on a boat, I was far away... all just excuses
London again
