Had to sign out because the computer time comes in 15 minute blocks and the boys had already been on before me.
Singapore is really just one big city. Saw our first individual houses and townhouses yesterday. Most people live in apartment blocks. Train stations seem to be near areas of apartment blocks. They are also above or below ground so they cross no roads. Leads to a very smooth ride ( lady was putting on mascara on a moving train). There is mostly standing room with some seating along the walls. Ticketing system is easy to use. Australian councillors and ministers should take one of their junkets over here and check it out. Buses connect to trains. Singapore is mostly fairly clean. Went to suburb of Paris Ris yesterday where all the major roads are Paris Ris something (eg Drive, Road, Street, Close etc).
McDonalds, KFC are both here but are different to Australia - different things on menu and less range (eg only 1 flavour of McFlurry) KFC doesn't even taste like it has the same herbs and spices. It is also not a teenage workforce. Lots of middle aged and elderly workers. Didn't see to many teenagers working anywhere. I think maybe there culture encourages them to be in school and studying. Lots of schools in the east where we went yesterday. All have same basic uniform but in different colours (boys in all white Ah!!! I'm glad I'm not washing it). See You. Will blog again as soon as I can and hopefully get some photos on.

So glad you are getting the up close and personal cultural experience and enjoying it. Praying for your safety. We visited 4 McDonalds, 1 KFC and a place called The Hog's Breath (expensive but nice, didn't see pig on the menu?)on our time away, that will do us for a while. God Bless and keep looking up!
