Thursday morning at work, things have finally started to settle down again after spending the last three days ploughing through unread emails and fighting fires whilst I was away.
Away where? Sensational Singapore!
Flying from Perth to almost anywhere internationally, people stop in Singapore. They loiter around Changi Airport for a few hours, buy some booze and a watch or a camera then jump on the next flight to wherever they're going. They're truly missing out. Singapore is such a fantastic and lively country and I loved every minute of it. Except maybe when I had a cough attack in a shopping centre and frightened the locals with SARS!
9 nights in Singapore, Robin and I stayed at the SHA Villa; an old colonial building of 3 floors, about 40 rooms lots of space around the building and food on the corner of the block. We were 5 minutes walk from the Somerset MRT (Mass Rail Transit), and another two minutes from the business end of Orchard Road - The Strip. This meant we were pretty close to the centre of town but weren't staying in the main tourist district. Food and booze was cheaper here too compared to the chic cafes on Orchard.
Being a true holiday (unlike the planned out Contiki tour of 2006), I made an effort not to use computers or be online; all I wanted to do was explore, relax, eat, drink, shop and be merry.
So, because I didn't blog live during the week, I'm going to write my stories up as I go, and backdate them to midday of the day I'm writing about. There should be lots of photos and I hope to have them all in my gallery soon.
Jeez, its hard being back at work.
:P
