well here we are in singapore. the gateway to the orient.
we headed off to sentosa island yesterday. it was the military base for the english to protect the busy singapre port back in the day. now it's just a recreational area, but has a museum called fort siloso which we went to. pretty cool for a museum, but required a fair bit of walking in very hot humid weather. humidity here is about 100%. nuff said. we also went to an aquarium on the island, and a pink dolphin show. dee got a photo with one after the show.

we boogeyed around little india today in singapore, then headed to sin lim square, which is a huge shopping centre full of gadget shops. they are mad about gadgets here. prices are much better than home aswell. i;ll be bankrupt, but i don't care... i just bought a new mobile phone, and i'm buying a digital SLR camera tonight! [watch out peter!].

meeting reuben tonight would you believe? he emailed yesterday to say he was in malaysia working for 6 months and would i like to meet up! he is just across the border, so he can get a bus or taxi to singapore. he's staying in a hotel down the road from us as our one is full. our one is not the best hostel anyway. cockroaches are massive here, and small lizards crawling the walls - cool! heading out on the p1ss tonight with roo i guess.
