Singaporeans are more fashionable than the Japanese. They think about what they wear, and there's none of the crazy over-the-topness.
The Sultan Mosque is still beautiful.
Went to the bird park, but it wasn't quite as amazing as last time. Saw almost nothing but starlings and doves in the waterfall aviary, and the Southeast Asia aviary was closed. Still, I saw a red bird-of-paradise, so yay.
Went to Little India, which is colourful, loud, and smelly - especially the covered food market, which reeks, and that's sort of why I love it. Walked in search of iced coffee, and ended up all the way back in Bugis, near the hostel, before I found one.
Went to Suntec City, and its associated Fountain of Wealth, which is exceedingly silly and very impressive. The fountain - world's biggest, apparently - is a bit of a monstrosity, indeed.
Stumbled across Raffles on the way to Suntec - sadly couldn't afford a Singapore Sling.After Suntec, walked to the river past lots of grand colonial buildings, much like the Victoriana in Australian cities.
Walked to Clarke Quay, which is very pleasant and very trendy, but suffers from a glut of loud Americans.
Walked miles and miles today, and am bloody tired, but saw lots of Stuff, so all is well.
