Day 27-Expensive Singapore

Waking up in the hostel, we got ready and then ate our free breakfast of toast (York seriously ate about 8 pieces), and then used the internet to try to figure out our plans for the day. Since we were going to split finding accomadation, I searched on the computer for places to stay because York had already found our accomadation for the prior night and arranged a place for us to stay for the end of the week.

I found a great deal at a place for the 28th and 29th but we still had to find a place for that night. We were in a neighborhood called Little India, so we decided to just walk around and look for a place. We wandered around, and found quite a few hostels but everything was pretty expensive even though they weren't nice at all. Also, in Singapore the air is so humid that even the short walk around the Little India neighborhood left us covered in sweat.

Finally, we found a decent room in Little India, but by decent I mean barely sleepable. The room had bunkbeds and just enough room for us to set our things down. I was ok with it, but definitely not thrilled because we still had to pay $30 Sing dollars a night for this shabby closet aka room with it's lime green walls and rickety bunkbed.

For the rest of the afternoon, we walked around the city and looked at the sights. Singapore is really beautiful would be fabulous to spend time shopping there if you have the money and don't mind a super humid climate.

That evening I wanted to grab a drink and walk along the waterfront, but we had to go meet Yorks friend. His friend talked and talked and talked, almost driving me to complete insanity. Nice enough, but very young and lacking all social intelligence, he talked and didn't take the hint that we really didn't want to go to a "house party" with him.

We agreed to go to an Indian restaurant with him for dinner, which was also not the best. The food was decent and cheap, but I was pretty bummed because in such a beautiful city with beautiful restaurants and things to see, I really didn't want to eat cheap food in an alley way.

York felt bad for making me hang out with him friend, but explained that he tried to give him a hint although that wasn't working. We made our way back to our hotel in Little India and made drinks and drank them on the street before returning to our bunkbeds to call it a night.
