So today is Xmas & we are in sgp. We moved home to Chou (warmshowers guy) who also has another french couple (Paul & Laurine, http://www.element-terre.com) staying over at his place, crowded with bikers you say? :-) We also used our Xmas gift to decorate the bikes. Not like a real tree, but its close to it.

They biked Vietnam & cambodja already, so we could ask them for some tips & hints...cambodja is great they assure us, vietnam wasn't the best experience they had (people trying to push them over, throw snake at them, consider them to be nothing more than a moving ATM machine...) Although the tourist places are nice & people are used to you there, it seems they don't really like it when you go to the countryside...w'll see what vietnam brings us.

Decided to head downtown & visit the centre, cathedral, park & go to see the lights on orchard road which was closed down to traffic for Xmas parade etc...bad move...1000's of singaporeans & others pushing & trampling each other, why do you get ideas like that? Nono, it was nice to see the lights, but after 15min we wanted to escape again :-) Which we did, headed back home & called it a night since we were still a bit tired from the party the day before

  1. Flashy place Singapore en ziet er redelijk, heel Westers uit. Hier is het ook wat uithangen the day after Xmas, straks de eenden in het park gaan voeren die kunnen nu wel wat extra gebruiken. Groetjes, Chantal

  2. Yep, in Noord Vietnam zijn ze extreem boertig, south of the DMZ is het wel plezant
