Singapore Fling (part 2)

After quite a long, well earned sleep-in, we ventured out for a wander down the famous Orchard Road. Massive shopping malls as far as the eye could see, and we became quite familiar with the inside of several of them as it proved the best way to escape from the oppressive heat. It was a cruel form of torture for Bec, however, with Johnny constantly reminding her that we had absolutely no room in our luggage for purchases...

Singapore apparently goes absolutely crazy with Christmas decorations, especially down Orchard Rd. Ornate trees on every corner and in all the shops, and a whopping 45 kms of fairy lights strung up in rows along the busy street!! Pretty impressive.

For dinner we headed to Chinatown for a traditional Hawkers meal, strategically avoiding all the scary sounding dishes like braised pigs' trotters, shark cartilage and residue chicken... mmm, yummy! Not to mention the Hong Kong Boat People Congee...?? The Chinese markets were cool, and we managed to leave with a new digital camera - small enough to fit in our bags, yay!
