Tioman-Singapore

This last weekend I was on Tioman Island on the east coast of Malaysia. Nice beach to lay in a hammock in and read. On Sunday I went on a snorkel trip with a bunch of Malaysians from KL... a group of motivational speakers.................... um yeah you can imagine how that went down. Let's just say that was a cultural experience. Anyways, the Island was really chill I met a couple of musicians from London and we traveled to Singapore together. Unfortunetly, we and a shit load of Singaporeans were making our way back at the same time. This weekend was a vacation for most, due to Singapore's National Day (45 years ago they got their freedom from Brittan) so that means masses of people needing to get through immigration from Malaysia. I wish I would have had film to take picts it was def a sight to behold. The funny thing was no one seemed upset everyone was chill even though it was hotter than hot and the ques for the buses were ginormous (once you go through immigration you cant hire a taxi for some reason). We started chatting to some Singaporeans behind us in line and they were soooo friendly! Everyone in line on the Malaysia side was smacking gum like it was going out of style before they got to Singapore because gum is illegal here! HAha yes its true, really! So is J-walking. There is something about Singapore though the second I got here I just wanted to follow the rules! haah
