... hello singapore

finally arrived in singapore after a nearly 18 hours, but uneventful journey.

singapore greated me with perfect weather: sunshine, blue sky, about 30° and a low humidity.
since i was totally beat from the plane ride and lack of sleep, i only took a short stroll through orchard road today (main shopping street, pretty amazing for every shopping serious woman :) ). but i have to say: singapore is as awesome and exciting as i expected it to be. can't wait to see the rest of this amazing city.

so i need some sleep now, in order to be able to enjoy my next few days ;-)

goodbye vienna...

so finally the day has come and my adventure begins - 5 months travelling asia and oceania. in a few hours i'm on my way to my first stop in singapore. i still can't believe that i'm not going to be home in a while, it's probably gonna hit me after some time. anyways i'm totally excited about my trip and looking forward to see a lot of cool stuff and meeting new people.

packing posed a bit of a challenge yesterday: my suitcase seems way too small for all the things i want/have to take with me. i am a woman and i do need a lot of stuff for such a long time ;-) think i got everything though, but i have to take an extra bag for handluggage with me (a big one of course :-) ).

for the few people who don't know my plans already, my approximate route will look something like that:



so you see i have a lot to look forward to. i'll try to keep you updated with my blog. can't promise though that i have the time and notion to write regularly. there probably will be other, more exciting things occupying my time ;-) but i'm sure there are going to be quite a few status updates and pictures on facebook, just to make you all a bit jealous ;-)

see you all soon!
