The heat here is sweltering. Hi temp, hi humidity. oh my fave. am soooo sticky. Well I finally got inside the Vietnamese Embassy and I can now book my flight to vietnam. Wey Hey. I collect my visa tomorrow. Will stay in Singapore til sat morning. Still a few more things to see. Walked around Chinatown and Little India today. It was really fab. The beautiful old buildings are amazing. Many are very brightly painted and most have all the shutters intact over the windows. I just walked around for hours. But needed to cool down and found a cheap internat cafe so here I am. It must have been amazing in the 30's. I guess I have a picture of old Singapore in my head from watching Bruce Boxleightner in that 80's program that I can't remember the name of. But he used be at Raffles all the time and it was set in the 30's and he was sort of a detective. I digress. Anyway. the mixtures of cultures is amazing. It is funny to see a whole street of Indian restaurants and then a little chinese one in the middle. The colours and smells are icredibly vivid. Some vegetables are so huge. Some of which I've never seen or maybe not for a long time and I can't remember. Stepping into Little India was like being in Goa or Delhi again. There is such an atmosphere there and the music transports you to a different place.
Anyway back to my flight bookings. Ciao
