This guesthouse just opened a few weeks ago from the looks of it. Nice and new, but still some weird things. You can eat corn flakes for breakfast, but there is no milk here. Some people were just using hot water. And the living area is just outside my bedroom door so it is hard to get much peace and quiet since it is like 20 people living in a 4 bedroom apartment here.
I got out of the hostel and made it to Vivocity shopping mall, the newest and largest mall in the country. I noticed they had a nice Canon showroom there, a big movie theater, a park and wading pool on the roof. Then there was a train that I took across to the nearby resort island of Sentosa. It is like a theme park, but I walked around and did the free things. The beach there looked perfect. On the way there I got a good view of the port and all the containers and the ships. When you look out to see you can see dozens of ships parked for refueling.
Today I kept trying to compare Singapore to Japan. Which country is more modern, which is more clean? There are a lot of trees here, a lot of green. It is needed since the sun is so high and strong. I’m only about 1 degree north of the equator!
