We've just arrived in Singapore after a 7 hour flight from Tokyo. I haven't been here since coming with The Queen back in 1991!
We melted out of the underground, very over dressed, on to frenetic, noisy streets around Little India where our Hostel is located.
What a change of scene! In spite of the heat and humidity even at this late hour, I feel a sense of relief. Japan is great but feels ever so formal, neat and hard work for an English tourist, whereas Singapore has a lot more craziness, a buzz and although there are few white faces here, it feels easier to blend in.
We dumped our bags and headed straight to a veggie curry house, a bit like an Indian MacDonalds but delicious and reasonably healthy. Not that I minded how healthy it was. It's just great to feel full at last!
As Ric will vouch, it's the happiest I've been since we left London.
Looking forward to checking the city out over the next few days...
