Last stop: Singapore

I have flown through Singapore many times but this is the first time I have actually visited. We have been here for the last three nights, staying with friends Jamie, Aunchalee and their four month baby, Porinda. Ed and Jamie worked together in Townsville and so it has been great to catch up after such a long time.

We have also spent a bit of time wondering around Singapore. The city actually reminds me of Brisbane a bit. Both are cities built up around water.
Both quite attractive but modern. Singapore confirms its reputation as being a very clean city. It costs huge amounts of money to own a car here as they try to limit the amount of cars on the road. There is literally no rubbish anywhere and even the public toilets are flawless. Walkling through one of the malls, I actually saw a man wiping down one of the indoor plants, obviously ensuring it was clean too.

Of course whilst here we have also eaten some great food. We had a lovely steamed fish the first night here, fresh from market that day. I couldn't get enough of the vegetables either! I think the first meal I eat when I get home will be a big plate of yummy vegetables. Strange the things you miss.




We caught one of the new A380 planes on our way to Singapore. It was pure luxury. We seriously couldn't tell we were on a plan as it was so quiet and smooth.
