My Shitty Experience of Singapore Which Literally Involves Shit

I'm not saying Singapore is a bad place, but I did have a bit of bad luck while I was there..

In fact, My bad luck started as soon as I crossed the border!

Singapore is a dot on the map. I didn't know much about it except that it's a city and a country, and I've heard it's strict.

It's a big crime to spit gum on the sidewalk and you can be sentenced to Death for marijuana.. at least that's what I hear people say a lot. 

Spicy Frog Meat and Pig Organ Soup

My first meal in Singapore was frog meat covered in some kind of spicy sauce. I ordered it because it sounded unusual and I had never eaten frog before. It tasted like chicken.

But because of the slightly chewy texture of it, it was a bit more difficult to eat than chicken would be. The sauce was thick and dark and made it messy to eat. Not bad. Not bad at all.

Ok, So A little later as I was exploring the city. I noticed that many places had signs reading "Pig Organ Soup", It didn't sound too appetizing to me at first but as I continued to walk around I also continued to see restaurants selling that dish! Since it seemed to be heavily advertised, I thought maybe it was a Singaporean thing and I should try it to experience part of the local culture. So I walked in and, OMG Seriously,

Visit the World's Oldest Rainforest and Walk the World's Longest Canopy Walk

Taman Negara literally means "National Park" in Malay. Yeah, they seriously named a national park, national park! 

Anyway, It's also the world's oldest rainforest and I saw so many bizarre, freaky bugs. One of the Main reasons I went was because it's also home to the World's Longest canopy walk! good, so I could knock out 2 World's most something at once!

this big butterfly or moth was in the vehicle on the way there

My Favorite Mall in the World

Kuala Lumpur is a city of malls. It's kinda ridiculous. I've never seen so many malls in one city before.  I seriously saw 3 malls right next to each other!

And Petronas Towers, the majestic and famous symbol of KL, I was surprised when I walked inside and found a shopping center.   -___-

Going to a Big Marijuana Festival: Nimbin's Mardi Grass

Yep, I went a big annual weed event..

But before I describe all of the wonderfully interesting things about the fun and hippie-filled festival, let me explain how I happened to end up there.

Well, I was trapped in a small desert town in the middle of the Outback for a few days..

It sucked.  I was in the middle of nowhere and a bus ticket and plane ticket to Anywhere was really expensive.  I tried to find a rideshare, which is how I got there.

And I tried to hitchhike out, I had a sign and everything, but many people drove by while laughing at me.  I stood there for hours but then gave up. Then the next day I tried hitchiking again, but still no luck..  

Then Finally, I was rescued by 3 German guys who I managed to find on Gumtree.com They owned a van which was previously a wicked van rental company van and had Tarzan painted on it..  and they wanted another person to join them and split the cost of petrol. 

"Hey We are going to Nimbin, want to come?"  Yes YES!  I was desperate to go anywhere!
