internet, we are staying in a budget hotel, cross between a youth hostel and dorms, there are FIVE of us in the one room, ooer, this is going gto be very interesting. So the hotel is on upper wilke road...they mean upper, up a HUGE flight of stairs!!! with20 kilo packs in 28 degree humidity, sweltering...reminds me very much of Vietnam, but emptier...
anyways more later
off to tea in "little india"
...
Dinner was lovely...huge (attempting to upload some photos from the trip so far, but to no avail), wonderful host very plaesed to explain everything to us. Suffice to say that we had Indian for tea, i doubt that we could get much else in little india.
after dinner we meandered through the crowds and the stalls, it was very exciting. the sights the sounds the smells. we saw the stall holders creating garlands of flowers that they use for temple. the colours were amazing, Vibrant. There were shops full of fasbrics and silks and clothing. beautiful jewlery stores. it was a facinating experience...
we packed it in about 2100, but nothing comes alive around here untill after dark, the singapore visitor centre is open untill 2230! most of the shops are open untill 2130 or later. It's a wonderful atmosphere!
