It is cruel being in Singapore and not being able to buy clothes! I have been very very strong, on the condition that I will do a trip here another time and arrive with empty suitcases.
Have walked around little india, orchard road, and raffles area today. Find out what it is like over the other side of the river tomorrow. My desk job feet are aching a little, and I have been the classic tourista ~ a little while to go yet until I am travel hardened. The map is being pulled out a lot!
It is great to be hot ~ all though have a dehydration headache (tourista~). I am sitting**** in a wonderfully airconditioned internet cafe, arrhhh! (tourista~)
So, as I cant really talk shopping, lets talk food.
Its great staying in little india. I arrived mid evening and it was heaving with locals, had a great dinner of Paratha and Ibis (spelling) in the local cafes. Everyone is very patient as you point at other peoples dinners to order...(tourista~). I was the only women in the cafes...it felt normal, just like work! Wandered round and absorbed.
Had breakfast of the kaya toast (coconut jam) and coffee, lunch was a meat and rice combo in a food court ~ and tonight I am meeting Ben soon for a tour of little india. And there is great fruit everywhere - but I did not brave the duran everyone was pounding into - try and work up to it tomorrow.
I am keen to try the fish head curry, hainanese chicken, biryani, singapore crab, laksa etc etc .....some of which will have to make an apperance next time I am here, will see what I can find!
Well ok, I did do some shopping, but not clothes. Got the audio recorder and sdhc cards for it and the camera - so I am all geared up for the trip. Lots of pics of beaches and endless horizons coming up.
And I did pick up a bag...it is a practical shoulder bag - which is also cute. My first purchase from top shop.
