So long Singapore

So Pete gets the prize for spotting my 'Cecil St' sign in the previous blog - yes, it doesn't leave room for much more in my backpack... This is me, (well, you know that,) on Sentosa Beach, having the obligatory, warmer than usual, paddle. Sentosa Island is a bit like Disneyworld - there is piped music everywhere you go. But it does have a tall tower (love 'em), and you do get to walk inside a (stone) lion's mouth... I was very pleased to have another travelling companion, a Dutch girl called Nicolien, who reassured me when we had to go in an enclosed lift, and went first through the jungle exhibit in case of legless reptiles.
Curious aside here, I'm surprised to find that there are squat toilets even in the airport and smart malls - some women choose to use these... maybe they are more hygienic? Or just a habit. Can't wait to try them out on my tour...
You may not hear from me for a while now - I'm going off to Bangkok in the morning to start my Indochina tour and the internet opportunities may be few and far between. So you can take a break from these - a bientot, or is it sayanara - probably neither... bye!
