Garden Singapore

... by this point I started to feel really poorly. I think I had food poisoning as its really not like me to be sick after alcohol &#8211; no matter how much I&#8217;ve drunk. So, poor Kirsty had to stand by whilst I was sick in a flower bed on Orchard Road &#8211; how embarrassing!! Not the most classy of things to be doing wherever you are, but Singaporians are especially staid!<br><br>So, that was it for Singapore! I had to spend the rest of the afternoon and evening in bed before ...

... Prix. The GP is held at night and there were specially imported lights being erected on scaffolds right around the track, as well as the safety fencing and barriers, which spoilt the vista somewhat. The GP brings millions of dollars into Singapore and the prices of everything skyrocket over the week it is held.

We are staying very close to the best electronics mall in Singapore which Paul immediately checked out. His first visit was on his own as technology isn&#8217;t my thing and my constant questioning would get on his nerves. (I just don&#8217;t understand how it all ...

... out terrible and I didn't even eat) to keep the price down, but then... one diet coke can, and I mean one can not any refills or anything, cost US $6!!! They did not mention the soda prices on the menu and I thought I would be okay just getting a coke and not a beer. Think again. I couldn't believe it when I saw the bill.

... left unexplained. We passed through Malaysia during the night, so didn't see much of anything. We stopped shortly across the border for a quick meal of roti canal and immediately noticed the difference in the people. Gone was the "Asian" look and it was replaced by many North Africans, Arabs and, of course, ethnic Malays who are darker skinned than most of their Asian counterparts. Malaysia was a former British colony, so for the first time since Hong ...
