Flight to Melbourne… well I don't really remember take off.. yep you guessed it, I passed out and was fast asleep before we moved! Fantastic sleep at last…. to only be interrupted for dinner.. so it lasted all of 30mins! That was it, I was awake for rest of the journey (8 hours).. so played again on DS again, and then decided to play Zuma on their ...
Singapore, Singapore mariamarshall... and a watermelon juice. It certainly helped us to cool down while resting our feet at the same time.
During the evening, we ended up at Clarke Quay, a very trendy bar and restaurant district situated along the Singapore River. We dined at Jumbo restaurant (No association with Jumbo in Hong Kong). Keith and Teng Fang ordered for the whole table - again, very relaxing for us as we did not have to try to speak Mandarin ...
We arrived in Singapore shortly after midnight and got to the hotel by 1:00 AM. We were craving a late snack and decided to see what we could find within walking distance as opposed to overpaying for room service. The street was illuminated in blue from the Christmas lights. We thought it was a bit premature to be decorated for Christmas prior to even Halloween, but I guess they like to start the season early in Singapore ...
... we were under Big Brother's eye when a security guard came out to tell the fellow sleeping next to us that he was under surveillance and needed to move on... We moved on too--we headed to a foot spa for an hour foot massage (and an hour in the air conditioning).
After our rest, we took a taxi to the airport for our short flight to the Malaysian city of Kuching, the largest city in Borneo.

Das Besichtigen ist angesichts der hohen Temperatur (> 33 Grad) und vor allem der hohen Luftfeuchtigkeit gar nicht so unanstrengend. Aber wir wollen ja nicht jammern ;-)
Am Freitag sind wir zuerst zum Singapur-Flyer.
Von ganz oben des Riesenrads (160 m) hat man einen super Ueberblick ueber die Stadt.
Am Abend sind wir weiter nach Darwin geflogen.
... Hua Hin.........Chumphon( the Sudphu-thong family)...........yep i suppose you have guessed it by now.........THAILAND does it for us!!...........the rest was nice.......but the Blue Ribbon goes to Thailand!!
Well it's not quite over yet.........it's Friday morning.....we are packed......will check out shortly and take a taxi to Changi Airport for some ...
... the new area that is pretty much virtually private. Although I think the University Hospital is clean and nice, Kent Ridge Wing was a whole other story. When we walked from building to building it was like stepping into a private LA ward in Beverley Hills. Palm trees lined the entry into the hospital (you might as well have a red carpet and a valet on arrival) and we stepped in and it was luxurious in hospital terms. It was like the hospital in House in simple terms. The ...
Singapore, Singapore apoc100... and paintings, all in fairly gaudy colours. Taxi back to the hotel for a quick dip in the pool before heading out again to Orchard Road. Went to check out the new Ion Orchard shopping mall which opened a couple of days ago. No signs of a global recession here. People clutching numerous shopping bags from high end retail outlets. Had a good mooch around before heading off to the Food Republic food court again as the food court at ...
Singapore, Singapore busafam... those that know him well will know how shocking that is that he rated any pillow other than his own as worthy).
Well, it took quite a while to get those photos onto the 'Detained' post so we will need to catch you up on our first 2 days in Ho Chi Minh City on our next blog.
Hope you are all enjoying the cold as we sit here in shorts and a tshirt at 9pm at night.
Love Luke and Jen

... for Ian as I dragged him round all of the boutiques in search of a bargain! Singapore is a really beautiful city... the first thing you notice is that it is so so clean and safe, completely different to Bangkok! They have even banned chewing gum so I had to put up with Ian's dog breath for 2 days lol! Once we were all shopped out we headed to the famous Raffles Hotel for a Cocktail. Raffles was the birthplace of the Singapore Sling cocktail so we ...
