Chapter 2 - singapore

So having had a amazing time in dubai singapore had quite a lot to live up to! This was also our first ever stay in a hostel so anxiety was a little high! Upon arrival we were collected by one of the hostel staff, he was very friendly and gave us loads of useful tips. The sights on the way looked lovely but as we began to get closer and closer to our hostel which was in little India, the area started to look a little different! (Well compared to what we were used to!) it looked run down and although singapore claims to be a very clean city I was beginning to think that that did not include the tiny suburbs like little India.

.....anyway after driving around for a while we arrive on a street with many restaurants and little shops and right in the middle of it all was a door....... This door led to our hostel "vintage inn", by this point we were both thinking OMG this place/area does not look like some where we would stay! But we ignored all those thoughts and just threw ourselves into being a traveller!

 

....the hostel itself was lovely and I was glad, we made the right decision to stay there. It was small, on 2 floors each floor had one room with 18 beds in pod style, and then had showers and a kitchenette, the pods themselves were very spacious and we had a double pod and were relieved to have our own space even if it was only a small space! We were so jet lag that we fell asleep almost straight away! And when we woke we decided would go for a wonder,check out the place where we were gunna call home for the next 5 days....

......one of the first things to hit us upon leaving the hostel was the smell :( the actual stair case leading up to the hostel stank of I don't know what and the streets just smelt of all kinds of awful things! It was clear that we were in a place we were not familiar with....ASIA!
