Singapore

Arrived in Singapore at 6am after leaving Darwin at 3am. Singapore is 2 hours behind Melbourne. Quite hot and humid but bareable. Have spent a lot of time wandering about and having look at a lot at different areas. It has a great train system and is very cheap. Singapore itself is very expensive. Hotel is in a back street area. There are female street workers at a hotel across the street but they are more modestly dressed than a lot of teenager girls in Australia. Very modern city. Very green and lots of gardens. Bouganvillias are prolific and many different colours. Went on a cruise up the river last night, very interesting. Not sure where to eat that is safe but haven't had any problems yet. Struggling to get the boys away from Burgers at Burger King. Did have local food last night though. Have a photo that I will try and put on sometime of the Thai deserts we tried. They were not real nice. We have today and tomorrow in Singapore and then we fly out to Shenzhen, China tomorrow night.
