Toilet searching and BBH card

We went to several hostels looking for the legendary BBH card. She had urgent need for the toilet since our car mart frenzy, but held it there just to find a toilet where she can use. Sadly, she didn't manage to find any. You can see it from her face below. I still insist on a photo despite her urgent needs!

Jailhouse - Looks like a top choice for some travellors. It seemed that it is about 70 per day. Quite nice, if you like the feeling of staying in an ex-jail convert to accomodation. The reception is busy, and had no time to entertain Asian, I guess. Bah. Sometimes, you wonder if the surveiliance camera works, since they should be inherited from their past functions...

At the right place - Now this really looks like the right place to go (for BBH). We got our BBH card here, but still, no toilet. The room is about 60plus per night I think.

Room movers

Looks like we have not accustomed to the timing yet! We just got up, which is Singapore timing 7.55am.

And the worst is? We were actually woke up by the owner of the hostel, Geri. She apologized for this, but we are shifting rooms again. First night at room 12, second night at room 3, third night at room 2. It was a hassle, but you see, Asians are nice, and we are in a foreign land...

Well, at least on a brighter side, we tried 3 rooms out of 12 in Around the World Backpacker Hostel!

Pound in the head

We met with our first headache today. We went to ANZ bank to open an account but our bank draft takes 7 calendar days to clear. It was not that 3 days or lesser that Citibank Singapore had told us about.

This makes our situation even worse. We had barely few hundreds to spend, and we might have to confirm the caravan rental booking by 25/05/12. 2 separate issues, but what happens when we don't have money to confirm the booking? Using a credit card?

Also, hows our accomodation going to be settled? To extend our stay in the backpacker hostel?

Whats worst than the above problems? Having a bad migraine now on top of the pending issues we are facing. Plus jetlag still, coz I got a yearning for beauty sleep now.
