Singapore.
The train departed at about 8pm from KL Sentral. I did nothing much in the train besides sleeping, and eating..haha. It took about 7 hours to reach Woodlands checkpoint; Singapore Immigration was a breeze.
Met with this couple from Paris who was travelling Asia, I got to practice my French! Tu est parle francais? ;)
We parted ways as I needed to get to Ang Mo Kio station to get my Tourist Card that cost S$8/per day. The card entitled me with unlimited travel on bus, MRT, as well as LRT on all lines. You need to ask the counter which station has this card.
Plus, with the price of the card, you would need to pay a deposit of S$10, it will be returned once you return your card.
In Singapore, the first time you purchase your ticket for the MRT/LRT, the price will be added with S$1 deposit for the ticket. You can hold on to the card if you need to use the MRT/LRT again.
If you are done with the travel of the day, simply return the card to the machine and you’ll get your S$1 back!
After Ang Mo Kio, I took the MRT on the Red Line and interchanged at Dhobi Ghout (Purple line) to go to Little India. I didn’t book any hostel as this trip was rather a random one, so I had to stroll around Little India.
And to make it worst, it was raining!
And to make it worst, it was raining!
But after asking around, I was told that there are Checkers, The Inn-Crowd and some other hostels in that area. All other hostels were full; I ended up getting a bed at The Inn-Crowd. It cost S$20 per night with free breakfast and wifi.
I was tired that I slept throughout the morning and woke up about 1pm.
It so happened when I was just done showering, this one guy from Australia was looking for his bed. We had some chat and I excused myself as I wanted to find some lunch. He actually wanted to join me. We ate at this Vegetarian Indian Food shop.
He took out his chess set and we played it there (I’m not much of a chess player but yeah, it was weird game), he was super nice that he picked up the check for lunch! How more awesome it could be? ;)
to be continued....
so yummy :))
