The first thing to say about Singapore is how modern and clean it is. Some of the buildings are amazing looking, all aroound they seem to be trying to out do each other. We walked around a couple of the most amazing shopping centers we'd ever seen, one was like some future utopia, relaxing music, rooftop garden, unreal!
Kdyz ted vzpomenu na Singapur, prvni vec, co se mi vybavi je, jak je tohle mesto moderni a ciste. Nektere budovy jsou absolutne uzasne, vypadaji jako z filmu z budoucnosti. Nakupni strediska jsou vsude, kam lidske oko dohledne. Ctrnacti poschodove budovy plne obchudku s prosklenymi vytahy, s vyhlidkou ze strechy, kterou promenili v zahradu. Uzasne!
We stayed in the little india part of town at a cool backpackers called The Prince Of Wales. One of our first evenings we decided to take a walk to find The Fountain of Wealth, and were really excited by what we found. The fountain itself was pretty cool, but the food court around it was the star, we promised ourselves that we'd come back for lunch on one of the other days.
Byli jsme ubytovani v casti s nazvem Mala Indie v super hostelu Welssky Princ. Hned prvni vecer jsme se rozhodli trochu se projit po nocnim Singapuru. Dosli jsme na misto, kteremu rikaji Fontana Stesti. Co jsme ale nasli bylo nad nase ocekavani. Rozhodli jsme se zajit do podchodu nez prejit silnici. Takovy podchod jsme jeste nevideli. V obrovskem kruhu kolem fontany byla restaurace na restauraci. Sli jsme smerem k fontane. Aby se prani vyplnilo, musite ponorit jednu ruku do fontany a jit 3x dokola v danem smeru. Potom jsme se parkrat prosli dokola a obdivovali speciality na jidelnich listcich. V ten vecer jsme si slibili, ze se do jedne z nich behem naseho pobytu urcite pujdeme najist.
Then Sara and Karen came to stay in PoW, so we spent some time with them, some more drinking, and then their last day was chinese new year so we explored some of the area where they were having festivities. The girls left to travel the opposite side of oz to us, we exchanged sad goodbyes, but still hoping to catch up with them somewhere further along our travels. That evening Veronika and I went back to see the colours, smells and tastes of Chinese New Years in the night.
Dalsi den dorazili Sara a Karen, stravili jsme s nimi dalsich par dni a obdivovali tak mesto spolecne. V jejich posledni den jsme si behem dne udelali prochazku do casti, kde lide oslavovali Novy Cinsky rok. Pak se holky museli vratit, aby chytli letadlo do Australie, tak jsme se s nima sli rozloucit a vymenit si adresy. Stale doufame, ze se budeme moct jeste nekde potkat na nasich cestach. Vecer jsme se s Petem vraceli jiz do barevne osviceneho mista plne atrakci, lidi a stanku s cinskymi suvenyry.
After a bit of an early rush to Singapore airport we arrived and checked the screens for our checkin desk . . . Flight Delayed . . . for 5 hours! Usually this would be a real pain, but the $40 Quantas complimentry food vouchers softened the blow and we took full advantage having 2 meals each and relaxing in chair/beds whilst watching the runway. Possibily our best airport experience to date.
Dalsi den brzo rano bylo na nas, abychom chytli letadlo do Australie. Dorazili jsme na letiste a tabule ukazovali . . . zpozdeni letu . . . o 5 hodin! Zpet doma by nas to asi pekne nastvalo, ale na Sinapurskem letisti, jsme nerekli ani pul slova a byli dokonce i radi. Dostali jsme poukazku na jidlo v hodnote asi 600 Kc, takze jsme meli super snidani i obed, sledovali televizi, zadarmo pouzili internet a pospali si v pohodlnych sedackach za pohledu na pristavaci plochu.Takze 5 hodin uteklo jako voda. Beze sporu nejlepsi letiste, z ktereho jsme odletali.
. . . and that was it, the end of asia for this part of our travels, what an experience, Australia will have a lot to live up to. To be continued . . .
. . . a tak tohle Singapurske letiste uzavira nase cestovani po Asii, nezapomenutelna zkusenost a dobrodruzstvi, Australie bude mit co delat, aby se tomu vyrovnala. Pokracovani priste. . .
