Sunday, July 22: Singapore

Today I went to a place called Fort Canning Park, which holds singapore's largest bunker from WWII. It did them (theBrits who were in control back then) little use as they ultimately surrendered to the Japanese.

other than that, I went to this main street called Orchard, which is packed with people and is all about shopping. It was nice to stride along, although I have no intention of buying anything.

In the evening I met up with Chinky Boy, checked out one of his ballroom pratice spaces (the chink is doing not too badly).

A few words about Singapore in general: The official language (maybe here's more than one) is English, yet so many people don't seem to know it.. Loads of places to eat, which are all mostly cheap and look alike. The food is decent but I fear I might excede my yearly intake of noodles and rice. So far I've had frog legs, I beleive I mentioned that and also had some other exotic food, which I can't seem to remember!
