So where were we? Oh yes, Melaka the wonderful. Well leaving Melaka involved a 50 minute taxi ride north and then a 4 1/2 hour train journey south through the hills of Malaysia, some stunning sights, before arriving at the Gateway to Singapore, Johor Bahru. It's known for being a shopping competitor with Singapore as well as where the men of Singapore go for all their "needs" which don't get met in their own strictly policed country. It's a bit of a shock, after the beauty of Melaka and the train journey south, to have this sort of view from your hotel window...

I stayed there for one night, where I went to a Malaysian Cinema (they assign you seat numbers and there looked to be 1-2 thousand people in there) and also a church where the prayers, bible readings and sermon were said in 3 different languages! There was a church carnival after the service, which I stayed at reluctantly due to the flash storm that had arrived. The locals weren't worried, this happens all the time, as we stand around in 3 inches of mud!

From there, I caught the bus across the causeway to a place that is as clean and green as it is economically driven to in insane degree, Singapore.

I dare any young man to walk around the streets of Little India and not end up having nearly been sold a suit at least 3 times. So so pushy, I nearly resorted to violence at times just to get them off me. But when you have a population density of about 650 people per square kilometre and you say to them, "Here, fend for yourselves", it's bound to cause some extreme behaviour. When I was there, they were gearing up for the big 40th anniversary celebrations which will take place next Tuesday, the 9th August.

Without a doubt the highlight of Singapore for me was the Zoological Gardens. One of the top Zoos in the world, from what I understand, it had several endangered species such as the White Rhinoceros and my favourite, the White Bengal Tigers!

 

Without a doubt the most beautiful creatures I've ever seen in real life. I also spotted this rare piece of flora in the butterfly house. It the Rafflesia, the largest flower in the world. It is found on the floors of the rainforests of Borneo and this example was about 1 metre in diameter!

All in all, a full trip, I was prepared to catch a 7 hour train back to Kuala Lumpur for my flight... but NO! There was one thing I had yet to do in Singapore, as my newly acquired backpacking buddies were quick to point out, and so, a change of plans, a night on the town with an essential stop at the Raffles Hotel Long Bar for...

...A Singapore Sling!!!

So that concludes my brief overview of my trip. Perhaps I'll divulge the full details of some of the more interesting anecdotes over the next week or so. Meanwhile, work sucks. I most definitely am in a post-travel slump. I want to be on the road again! Nevermind, adventure's never far off in this life.

Josh!

Doesn't the Rafflesia, while quite stunning, smell distinctly of carrion? I've heard it has that particular odor in order to attract the specific flies that pollinate it. Is it true? Is it enough to turn your stomach and make you throw back a few Singapore Slings?

What a place! What a humungus flower!!! It looks like one that might eat people! I also see why you would want one of those tigers Josh. I used to dream about that when I was a kid, only I wanted an orange one. I hope you get another holiday VERY soon! Donna
