Singapore...day one

SO it's about time for the post on my first night in Singapore. What a crazy crazy experience...

Within hours of arrival i was hurried off to enjoy some dinner, which was quickly followed by the drinking of two glasses of wine at a local wine shop. Had the night ended there, there would have been no problems, but as coincidence would have it (without coincidence there would be no story.) i ended up at a bar. Here the night really began and i was forced to put down more beer than i have in a month. This was then followed by a sitting at a "coffee shoppe," where guess what they serve... that's right folks, BEER. So after more beer, a serving of stir-fried frog, and some prata... i was feeling rather ill and not quite up to par. It was decided that i should go home. It was a long walk to the bus stop, because along the way i kept falling asleep hanging over railings. Finally, after a video-taped vomitting session, i made it back (with the friend that invited me to Singapore) to the bus stop outside my hostel. There i fell asleep again because i (we) could bring ourselves to climb the stairs to the 4th floor. Finally at about 4am someone came by and woke us up and we headed to the hostel, were we slept on the floor outside the door to the room... because we did not want to wake up the other people in the dormatory. Plus there was only one bed inside (he's a local...why would he stay there) so one of us would have slept on the floor anyway.


SO, that's it for day one... More posts to come summarizing the visit to SIngapore as well as Hong Kong (i'm in Hong Kong now)
