singapore
i just don't like this place. the thing about singapore is that it's absolutely flush with cash, obscenely affluent when compared to its regional neighbours. as such i'm sure that if you had a bit of money, and were well connected to others in a similar financial situation, you'd have a ball... few drinks at raffles and on, 3am burger at the 24 hours mcdonalds, morning cup of coffee at starbucks to get you through the next day at work, and so forth. for the budget backpacker however there is virtually nothing, at least not for me.one thing that is free is the sight of large numbers of very fruity oriental looking ladies padding across the streets. but despite this obvious attraction, the fact that people won't cross the road until the green man appears, that there are more kfcs then noodle parlours, that a dorm bed costs $10 (you could have got a penthouse suite for that in phnom penh), means that i'm still not convinced.
