We had a one night stopover in Singapore on our way from Vietnam to Sydney, which coincided with Chinese New Year’s Eve, so Chinatown was a blaze of colour, rabbits (2011 is Year of the Rabbit) and throngs of people. However, an early night was in order to prepare for our 5am taxi to the airport.
We had time to experience the impressive MRT metro system, with its no eating and drinking rule (which we broke due to ignorance) and visit the lively Arab and Indian quarters of the city, where we had a strong Indian beer with Graham, a Welshman we met from Newport visiting his son and grandson in Melbourne.
It was strange seeing so little traffic on the roads after our Vietnam experience, but I expect we’ll get used to it in Australia!
Saw another bizarre photo being taken by a young guy walking along with an ice cream cone, taking a picture of it with his mobile!
