Singapore - visa run

5-6 March 2010

My contract with VSO ended as I was unable to extend my visa to work in Indonesia due to issues with the Memorandum of Understanding. However VSO pay for health insurance for volunteers for a further 3 months at the end of the contract to allow time for travel on the way back to the home country. I decided I wanted to travel more in Indonesia but therefore needed a new visa. This entailed a 24 hour trip to Singapore.

My second impression of Singapore was much like my first – it is not a place I would choose to spend time. It is so Westernised and organised. I did manage some sightseeing but the best sight was the lights of Singapore receding as I flew back to Bali.
