Singapore fling...

We've had a whistle stop tour of Singapore as we've only had 2 days here, but even in such a short time we felt we've seen quite alot-mainly because there doesn't appear to be that much to see. Compared to the madness of Bangkok the cleanliness and order of Singapore make it feel a bit boring, and without personality.



The main focus of everything at the moment is on Chinese New Year, which is in a few days time. There are decorations up everywhere and yesterday we headed down to chinatown to have a look at the bazzarres. As lex put it, alot to see, but not much to buy!



Unless of course, if you like pigs, in which case there are some lovely specimens...



The other big thing of course is a trip to Raffles for the famous Singapore Sling. which we had been advised to have hand shaken instead of the dodgy premix they dish out.



mmm... pink, very nice.

Apart from looking around all the shops-and there are alot, we'd been given a great tip to have a drink in the bar of the Swissotel, which has a bar on the 70th floor. The views was great, and it seems to be becoming a theme with us to get a good ariel view of a city on our last night.





Tomorrow, Tokyo...
