Melaka is a gorgeous city, unfortunately, all we got to see was within a span of four hours! That’s all the time we had before we caught the bus back to Singapore. The journey from Melaka to Singapore was only suppose to be four and a half-hours, but because the bus was modern and comfortable, it only felt like an hour. Really! We got off at the Malaysian border city of Johor Baru and went through immigrations, then hopped back on to make it across the bridge to Singapore and had to go through Singapore’s immigrations! That’s a lot of check points.
When we finally got into the main city, we headed to the nearest Exchanger and swapped our Malaysian Ringgits for Singapore dollars. A very friendly policeman helped us find the nearest branch, which was unexpected due to all the officials we dealt with during our two immigration check points. After that, we headed to find room at a five star hotel Singapore offers its many tourists. We found one located in the city center and it was right next to the golden mile shopping district and close to the bus depot. After we checked in and got unpacked, we headed right down to the MRT station and jumped on three tubes that took us into the residential area where we were to hook up with an old friend of mine now living in Singapore.
Then, after about a hours visit, my friend drove us back to the area known for the best street hawker food. Once there we were overwhelmed with which food vendor to choose from. Luckily, my friend knew the best ones. We picked the one that served chicken and noodles soup with a coconut milk based sauce. We passed up the tiger meat place. After walking about for a bit, my friend then took us back to our hotel and dropped us off. It was so nice to see her again. She told me that I should move here and that I could stay with her until I found work and a place to stay. Sounded ideal, I really like Singapore, but my heart belongs to Australia.
