Day 129
It was a relief to finally land in Singapore after the arctic temperature we experienced in Melbourne. It was also a chance to wash the single jumper and pair of trousers we had each been wearing every day for the last 7 days! Even this wasnt enough to keep us warm as we had to pile on loads of our warm weather vests and tshirts underneath….
We caught Singapore in monsoon season and since the main activities there revolve around shopping and eating, we did lots of both. Well browsing at least, since our budget doesnt really stand up to splurges in Singapore, even with the Great Singapore Sale in town.
It was a chance also for me to catch up with a very old friend, Low (whom I know from university). He and his girlfriend were excellent hosts, taking us around town to places including Little India, Chinatown, Arab Street and Holland Village (where the rich white people live). During these tours they also made sure we didnt leave town without trying every type of local cuisine available.
