Singapore

Beaches and over 30 degrees! It's warm all around the year here and people are very laid back. This is one of the only places where I've seen so many different people. When entering the subway there are Westerners, Asians (Chinese, Malaysian, Japanese, Korean etc) and Indians. Singapore is a bilingual country, but the official language is English here. However most people also speak fluent Mandarin Chinese here, I met one of my colleagues here yesterday and he always uses Chinese when talking to friends.

Just before entering Sentosa Island with the Sentosa train they had these mini ponds with about 5 cm of water but still put up a NO SWIMMING sign, wonder who would try swimming in less than feet deep water...AND this sign of BEWARE OF TRAFFIC on the side of the road "Just in Case" I guess... A good place to visit in the evening is Boat Quay which looks really beautiful with all the light. The Fullerton Hotel to the right has a 150 years old history and rooms go for about 250 euro + a night!



Went to Sentosa to enjoy the most southern beaches of Continental Asia. The national symbol for Singapore is the Merlion and they've built a huge one on Sentosa Island.
The bar distric in Singapore is called Clarke Quai also known as "Clar K", they had Hooters there and a bar with Wheelschairs and wards to sit on :P Thank you Suky for an awesome trip and Martin for the night out in "SingaThai" :P Hope we meet soon again!
