A quick second note from Lauri this time. We are waiting to leave for the airport and the next to last stage of our travels. Before we leave here I wanted to share a bit We will eventually work out who writes, but haven't as of yet.
First of all I have been impressed by the friendliness of the people of Singapore. They are more than willing to share their ideas of where we should go and what to see and what to eat. They really appear proud of their city but have also told me that you still need to be careful.
Since it is the Chinese New Year a trip to China town was a must. Red, Red everywhere. It is a symbol of good luck. The red lanterns hung over the outdoor market were lit last night and made a perfect red snake undulating along the way.
We were able to observe a Buddhist ceremony in a large temple. The chanting monks totally disregarded all of the tourists. So colorful and interesting.
Which brings me to my enjoyment of the diversity of this city. What a collage of ethnicities...languages..
The green in me also appreciates the card that we place in a card holder in our room before any of the electrically controlled features work ie the AC, lights etc. When we leave, we take the card out and everything shuts off. A very good thing as every huge building here appears to be lit all night long!
The food courts are amazing...just need a tutorial.
Now if I can only sleep.....my interior clock is really messed up. They say it takes one day for every hour of time change. Do you see any issues here?
Love to all of you, Lauri
