Singapore

We arrived in Singapore and went straight to David and Janet's (my sister) lovely 12th floor apartment which has cool breezes and great views. It was good to catch up with them in their last few days in Singapore. They returned back to Oz the same day as we did after a year living in Singapore.

Singapore was great, especially great food. I did a bit of shopping as well but didn't manage to find MBT (Masai Barefoot Technology) shoes. We went shopping at Arab Street and also Mustafa's Department Store in Little India.

Little India was full of guest workers on their day off. There must have been at least 6,000 Pakistani men wandering the streets chatting, eating and shopping. These workers only have Sunday half day off a week so it is a big event.

We also went to China Town for dinner one night which was great. Singapore while very clean and a bit sterile also has some very colourful spots. Everyone looks very happy.
