Almost ready to farewell Singapore. Been for our last look at Orchard Rd, currently being entertained by a soulful singer as we await out transfer to airport - in 2hrs time.
Observations of Singapore.........
- Most locals very hospitable.
- Exceptionally clean
- Very safe
- Food very reasonably priced.
- Tropical vegetation and wonderful orchids.
- Definite class destinctions.
- Warm & humid of course
- You have to be wealthy to own a car.
- 3 levels of taxi service - BMWs, Mercs top level with prices accordingly
- Normal taxis very cheap.
- Properties on 99 year leases and very expensive.
Noticeably absent......
- Alcohol to any degree, locals don't seem to partake. Beer reasonable, wine expensive.
- Graffiti
- Hoons
- Vandalism
- Sirens
- Polution
- Police
- Drunks
- Flies
Well done Singapore!!
