I actually quite liked it!

(Please note none of this will make sense unless you've read James' post below first)

I think this is the first place that James and I disagree on to this extent; I actually liked Singapore. There's lots of nods to it's past through colonial architecture and the constant references to Sir Raffles-the founder of modern Singapore. I also think as a girl, being able to walk around at night and know you're completely safe is nothing to be sniffed at. Girls living in cities are always on their guard, especially at night and this place really allowed you to relax.

The third key plus in Singapore is that clearly a shopaholic built this place. The endless malls are like works of art in themselves. State of the art architecture, coloured LED lights across the whole wavy frontage creating a giant
screen to create patterns that you can stand and watch for
hours. Inside these great structures are wall to wall designer shops. If I wasn't travelling and had some money coming in I could have done some serious damage! Popped into Hermes as I love their silk scarves (£281 each so nothing purchased). The man behind the counter was so helpful, getting dozens of different scarves of all different sizes and textures. The real fun started when this awkward little man, in his effort to show how versatile each piece was, actually started modelling them himself over his suit! I don't know about you but a man with a scarf around his waist like a sarong, another wrapped up like a boob tube and a third around his neck was just hilarious but was never quite going to cut it!

Regarding relexology; I agree with every word James wrote. It was brutal! This guy was seriously hurting my feet- all I could think was 'it's only supposed to hurt in places you are unwell so I'm clearly on the way out'! Apparently my yelps were louder when he pressed into the part of the foot that corresponds with the gut. The staff seemed excited that they'd made a new discovery and didn't have the heart to say 'i know, I have Endometriosis you plonker' apparently my stomach is 'very sick' and the cure was to come back the next day and have a one hour full body massage. Now, even if I believed a massage could cure a chronic illness, I just couldn't handle the pain of another one if their torture sessions!!

All in all, I quite liked it. I'd have liked it more with some cash to burn and maybe it's a place to visit with the girls, rather than a smelly boy!

P.s I wasn't in the least bit bothered about skydiving as my lovely boyfriend has suggested and found the whole thing start to finish really fun. When we get home we'll show you our video diaries of the jump. You'll see from the rambling, the sweating then the hilarious arm moves in the sky that someone, who will remain nameless was quite stressed out!!
