Changi

Not only the title of a movie, it is also a massive airport with free internet. I'm here right now waiting to get on the last flight for the last leg of my tour. Singapore has been great, a little hot though. I've done a bit since the last post. I had a power nap, went to some markets, went on a night safari through Singapore zoo, almost ran over a tapir but didn't because it is surpringly big and had some spicy food with cold beers. And that was all in one day! How full on is that? And it was a Monday! Intensity in ten cities!

Today has been a bit more sedate, I think this is due to the fact that for breakfast the only thing that looked slightly edible was the toast, so I had some. I didn't touch the scarmbled eggs, the bacon, the sausage, the mushrooms and onion, the potato bake, the baked beans or even the boiled eggs. Dad did, and he paid the price for it.

We also went over to Raffles Hotel, birthplace of the Singapore Sling. It's a fairly old hotel, as you'd imagine, but very nice and has a tropical sort of feel to it. It was still very British, but with a twist. Kinda cool. The Singapore Sling I had was incredibly average, a little too sweet for my taste. I had to wash it down with a Tiger. So I had a Tiger and a Singapore Sling. Dad had 2 Tigers and Diet Coke. Grand Total? 72 dollars. $12.50 beers were a killer. As was the $7 Singapore Sling. And the 8 buck coke. A joke.

Time is running out here, so not too much else to say. I managed to scare Dad in the cable car which was fun. I've got a pretty bad case of yellow fever too.
