We arrive in Singapore around 8am local time, depart the “Vomit Comet” (see previous post) and try to find our way across the city to the hostel we booked on-line before leaving Toronto.
It’s mid-morning when we check-in and, since we’ve already been traveling for over 24 hours with barely any sleep, we decide to try and beat the jetlag by going out for a nice quiet walk.
Little did we know we would walk right into Little India during the Deepvali festival. People are everywhere!
We find refuge in a Hawker Centre for chicken rice. Hawker Centres are designated buildings for food stalls. This one was soon to become our favourite. During our first experience there, an elderly gentleman was surprised we were in the place… I guess they don’t get a lot of strays! During our second experience we were trying to figure out what to get and the next thing we knew, a woman was ordering dinner for us. All we wanted was to try fish-head curry and we ended up with a lot of extra food. But oh, was it so good!
After lunch, it’s “home” for a nap that turns into waking up the next morning – we fall asleep at 2:30pm and wake up at 4:00am.
