Singapore
Singapore! What a city!
Here it's all about big buildings, shopping and food.
The architectural skyline is vast and sublime. Get this, the opera house is a giant durian! Now durian is a fruit from the durian tree but it is stinky and nasty to the max. It wrecks every fruit stand and is actually banned on the transit in Hong Kong. To like it is an acquired taste and Singaporeans pride themselves in this. So much so they mimic durian in their architecture.
Our Singaporean friends took us for lunch, set us free for the afternoon and then took us for supper to the waterfront and a light show. Wow! I've not seen anything like this. Water, lights and pumps. And music. It was glorious and the crown of Singapore.
After our friends insisted on dessert. Shaved ice with drizzles of sauces and fruits (no durian).
Tomorrow--last day. :(
