Weekend in Paradise
I spent the last weekend in the paradisic Tioman Island!
After a long bus ride we boarded our “jetty” and spent the night on a 6 hour ride to the northern part of Tioman Island near Pulau Sayok. After our chili-rice breakfast on saturday morning we headed off for the PADI open water dive course. Beautiful blue water, a coastline that mainly resembled untouched nature and could easily be featured in a pirate or castaway movie and many colorful fish =)
Singapore – being a Tourist
While I waited a few days before I could move into my appartment, I used the time to do sightseeing. Here are some of the best views I got.
Ps: I managed to change the media format. You can enjoy FullHD in FullScreen mode now ;). I might reconfigure it depending on the time it takes to load… Please comment if you encounter problems!
Pps: I reduced the size to 1/2 Full HD which reduces the Filesize by up to 44% for faster loading. On most screens, Fullscreen stays FullHD!. Additionally, I’ll manually set only the newest post to start the slideshow.
Sentosa and the SEA Aquarium
During my Tourist-time after finding an appartment, before being able to move in, I stayed at the Kiwi-Hostel. This typical Backpacker hostel with a huge fan-“cooled” area full of bunk beds was located quite close to the city and the staff was awesome. They gave great advise while sipping a can of Tiger at night or during the fruit and kava-sandwich breakfast.
Anywat, I decided to discover the most prominent recreational area of Singapore: Sentosa Island. The MRT easily takes you to Vivo-City, another of these typical shopping malls where you can switch to a monorail to drive to sentosa. After passing by the harbour, you pass through the amusement and movie-park area before reaching the beachside. A small tower offered a great view over the swimming bays and – the ships. I never expected to see that many ships afloat around singapore, probably waiting to load/unload their containers, for their next contract or the next fishing trip. (You best see them on the Marina Bay Sands post.)
Afterwards I went to the Aquarium. Besides an exhibition about the silkroad the whole building was equipped with different tanks or fish-tunnels. Since It was the day before chinese new year, they even performed an underwater “Lion-dance”
New year, new city, new blog
I’m on the road again!
After the amazing time in sweden, I’m leaving for Singapore – but this time I’ll share some pictures with you. Don’t worry, I’ll try not to annoy you with long texts :P. I’ll be posting mainly pictures from my travels and maybe come up with additional purposes of this blog 😉
