And so our journey has begun! We had a great time in Singapore. On preparing to land they informed us that the outside temperature was 29 degrees (at 7 at night). We weren't quite sure how this would feel after a Christchurch winter, but with everything set up so well for the heat (air conditioning and fans etc) it was actually quite nice.
Our hotel room was upgraded to a newly refurbished room on the 13th floor, which meant we had great views of the river and the city. Most people are very eager to please and friendly in Singapore, and everything is very clean (particularly in comparison to the brief glimpse we had of Malaysia).
We really enjoyed the Botanic Gardens, including the orchid collection, and enjoyed seeing the Singaporians out and about together on a warm Sunday afternoon. We managed to bargain with the shop owners in Orchard Road and China Town...
