I took a little trip to South East Asia for an end of exams/birthday sort of thing.
Rough outline:
Day 1: Singapore - Beach and Chinese Gardens
Day 2: Singapore - Chinatown and RAIN
Day 3: Singapore - Universal Studios Singapore
Day 4: Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia - Cosmo's World
Day 5: Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia - Petronas Towers & KL Tower
Day 6: Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia - Sunway Lagoon and Batu Caves
Day 7: Genting Highlands, Malaysia - Genting Theme Park and First World Plaza
Day 8 was spent on a coach and day 9 on a plane, so I won't bother including them as there were no photos .
Day 1:
I First full day after arriving late the night before. Luckily, I managed to avoid jetlag, however kept getting up really early... although this was a blessing in disguise as i'm usually AWFUL at waking up (just ask Vadge )
Walking down the street... I see a wheel!
It's called the Singapore flyer. It's currently the tallest in the world but is getting spited by Beijing soon...
Phunky bridge and phunky building:
The bridge had cute little observation points with a view of the CBD...
Singapore is famous for being clean and safe, due to harsh punishments for relatively minor offenses (huge fines for littering and lashes for graffiti/vandalism).
More fabness
It was a nice day, and Universal Studios was sold out, so I bought tickets for another day and headed to the beach.
The nicest beaches in Singapore are on Sentosa, the same island as Universal (only a short monorail ride from the main island).
Cable cars...
The beach was nicer than I expected from Singapore. Although you could see ships in the distance (hundreds of them), they were well hidden by the small islands directly opposite.
There was a bridge (and a zipline coming from a hill behind) over to one of the small islands. The water was boiling!
They had a flow rider <3
After the beach I got the MRT (mass rapid transit) to the Chinese gardens, as it was still sunny and I wanted to cram in as much as possible. On the MRT they had these fab stickers on the windows <3
What a FINE city.
...and at the Chinese/Japanese gardens, more fines!
At least it was clean...
I won't bother captioning these as there isn't much to say....
The dragons were paticularly fabulous <3
Turtles <3
They had a huge pagoda in the middle, which I went through the effort of walking up just to get these photos, so be greatful
The steps were putrid in the humidity <////3
One last photo of a tree on the way out to conclude the photos for today!
Part 2 to follow soonish.
