The Rucksack Inn – The place to be!

LATEST HOTTEST ACCOMMODATION IN TOWN!

Rucksack Inn re-opened today with an open house at 33B Hong Kong Street (near Clark Quay and Central Mall).  Awesome deco, totally funky and a really affordable place to stay for all visitors to Singapore. Extremely centralized within walking distance of must-visit places in Singapore:-

• Clark Quay (Comes alive at night) – walk
• Boat Quay (chill out place where boring office people turn into happening dudes!) – walk
• Central Mall – walk
• Liang Court (excellent Japanese supermarket in basement) – walk
• Funan IT Mall (all your IT needs) – 1 bus stop or walk
• Fort Canning Park – opposite Funan IT Mall
• Chinatown (everything oriental) – 3 bus stops or 1 MRT station away
• Little India (you guess it!  stuff related to India – food, crafts, spices, etc & 24 hours shopping at MUSTAFA CENTRE) – 7 bus stops away
• Bugis – 3 bus stops
• Suntec City (Exhibition centre & shopping)
• Raffles City (Shopping)
• War Memorial Park
• Churches with hundred years old history (St. Andrew Cathedral,  Armenian Church, Cathedral of The Good Shepherd)
• Museums (National Museum, Perankan Museum, Asian Civilizations Museum)
• Central Business District
• The Esplanade – Theatres On The Bay
• The Merlion
• Etc, etc, etc

The above mentioned places are within walking distance of each other – once you start walking.  But keep in mind that Singapore is a tropical city just a little bit off the south of the equator, so her average temperature is about 31 to 33 degrees Celsius the whole year round.  So, arm yourself with water, comfortable walking shoes, shades, and anything to keep your cool!)

I was at Rucksack Inn for their open house and was SO TEMPTED to book a room/bed!  The place just looks so inviting…A must stay place for every visitor to Singapore.

Psst…did I say that the place is run by 2 awesome gals, Jacqui and Samantha!  What can I say?  Expect only the BEST!

Took some pics with my phone.  So, let the photos speaks for themselves…

Church camp

Gosh! The church camp was fully signed up in 4 hours with people queuing hours earlier! Praise God for the amazing take up!

I was supposed to be in church at 3.30pm for the sign up as it was starting at 4pm. But since my cousin was leaving for church at 3.55pm, I decided to hitch a ride from her. At 3.15pm, Angela (my room mate for the camp) started calling. She was already in church for her duty and she was shocked by the queue and more shocked to realise that I was at home!

Told her to chill, but she got very excited and called 4 times and I almost blown my top. She was worried that the packages that we wanted would be gone and she cannot signed up for us as the documents were with me. Told her to queue and let others go first if I was still not there when it was her turn.

Reached church at 4.15pm, found Angela. We manage to secure our rooms and packages.

By 7.30pm, all were sold out.

I am so looking forward to the camp in Che-Am plus I will in Bangkok for 2 days…shopping…

For those folks who did not manage to sign up, the church will negotiate with the hotel for land packages. In the meantime, the folks need to be on the wait list.

More happening than the NATAS travel fair…
