SINGAPORE!

Well, I have to say Singapore is not really my type of place: not an attractive city at all - very hot, extremely humid and all a bit commercial! Very Swiss in many ways: very clean streets and people wait for the little green man before crossing the road - even at night when not a car is in sight!!
As I'm not a shopaholic, I went for a cruise in the morning, past Sentosa Island (Singapore's playdround, pictured) and all the oil tankers queuing up for the oil refineries...

Excellent exhibition at the fabulous Asiatic Culture Museum of some ancient and huge bronze masks unearthed in China during the 1980s
. The general galleries of asiatic art were some of the best thought-out I've seen.
I find it real hard to eat when I'm travelling but did manage the odd cup of Capuccino with, in one case, a slice of 'muddy mud pie' - an enORmous wedge of chocolate ice cream. Yummy!!
