Week 7 - Singapore, a truly amazing place. Very clean, efficient, friendly people, great food and thousand miles an hour, right up my street.....
We stayed in China town even though the photos would not reflect this. Much a world apart from the UK chinatown, this is clean, food is good, and there is not a stench of cooking fat.
On our first day we took a guided tour of NUH (National University Hospital) and met Professor Wong who examined Mariana's eyes for any signs of retina detatchment. Thankfully, all was well, so we decided to hit the shops on Orchard Road. Seven hours later, and absolutely nothing to show for it, except sore feet, we headed off to little india for a curry. Little india is great and the food, well I will let Mariana explain that one.
The colonial parts are really nice and the Asian Civilisation Museum gives a really good insight as to when the various cultures arrived in Asia, that was until the British turned up and started putting flags everywhere.
There are plenty of parks everywhere and people even walk in this city, even though the humidity can be a challenge. We even saw a few locals on cycles, yes this place is definitely somewhere I would consider living.
