Singapore: city of robots

Hello again,
So today is our last day in Singapore before we head out to the much anticipated Thailand. The city is amazing and so different than anything you would see back in the states. Its so clean and you can't smoke or chew gum anywhere. We've been ridding the MRT all around town which is the train/subway. Everything in this town goes a million miles an hour. For example, after getting of the MRT the masses of people literally sprint up the escalator(which, by the way, is the fastest escalator any of us has ever been on). The people here are so friendly and helpful which is always nice when in a new town. We have now completed our first hostel experience which had its ups and downs. It was fun to pretend we were at summer camp, especially for Liz and Michelle who had adjoining bottom bunks. There were 10 beds total in our room, which of course means we got our fair share of people watching in over the past 4 days. As much as we all enjoyed the city, it is ridiculously expensive here, and we are all so excited and ready to finally get to Thailand. We fly into Koh Samui island tonight where we plan on spending the next weekish if we like it. After that we head to Koh Phanang, another nearby island and the home of the fullmoon party. From there we plan on heading north and exploring the jungles of Chiang Mai and such. Hope everyone is well, and we'll try to update this more often in the future.
