Singapore Fling

Note to self: resist flying Jetstar where ever possible! (even though our flight was sold as a QA flight!). They were shocking with a very low care factor...decided they would be fine if the price was right for a shorter flight but wasn't a good option to Singapore.

Short and sweet visit to Singapore and a lovely catch up with Adrian (missed you Kate!) and the boys!

After having a drink at the infamous K Bar Ade took us to Boat Quay for Black Pepper Crab (worth the mess!), Clarke Quay for Mojitos (and to look in amazement at how many people were out on Monday night in Singapore!), and for a special treat (!) to Orchard Towers to see what the naughty western men do on their nights off in Singapore. Talk about an interesting place to people watch and have a laugh!!

The words we used most about Singapore were dichotomy and paradox...noticed it more this time being with someone that lived there and hearing about the side of it you don't see as a tourist...also draconian but it's always been that. Still a pretty city with lots of new infrastructure popping up at rapid pace...and as always a great place for a quick stopover.

Next time we see the Porters will be in the UK ;-) Next stop Bangkok!
