When walking towards the Somerset station, we'd always walk through the skate park and we were lucky enough to see some guys doing some street art on one of the brick walls. Here's the before and after - I think its pretty awesome!
We jumped on the train and headed to Clarke Quay because I was keen to check out the Great Singapore Duck Race... I'd only read about it till now, but what a sight it was, and a top day at that - almost like a carnival, with music, mascots and fun all round. Even got to peg a few ducks around that were caught on the sides of the river away from the current.
Whilst walking around Clarke Quay we stumbled upon some fountains and made the most of the cooling (albeit chlorinated) water.
After Clarke Quay and their expensive beers (SGD17.80 for two middies) we headed back to the villa for a rest and a shower. It was then back off into town, Chinatown! A vibrant area of Singapore, where the food and booze is cheap, the souvenirs are nasty and the tailors annoying!
Almost everything was 3 for $10, so I stocked up on slippers, those kitsch gold cats with the waving paw, and lucky fish as well as some postcards which I was going to send out to mum and a few mates.
Our first "expensive" meal in Singapore, we paid about SGD41 for a massive feast and a litre of beer. Here we have 3 different types of Satay sticks (recommended by the hostess), chilli squid and noodles with fresh chilli. Some of the best Chinese food I'd ever eaten and it was only going to get better...
