Indian food. Rosie and I had a coconut. They slice the top open and you sip out of it and then you can scrape the insides and have some of the fruit. The typical lunch would cost $4.00's. The coconut cost $2.00's.
Century 21 meets Caldors. This is Mustafa Center - a shopping mecca in Lil India. This place is massive and is open 24 hours. Rosie and I each purchased a new product to test out. I bought a stick for dental hygiene and she bought a product called "Follow Me Lady" which is hair serum... more will follow in product test #2 post (coming soon).
We ate at the Shangri-la hotel with some of her co-workers for dinner on Friday night. The desserts were really beautiful. These are pieces of jello. Singapore is very westernized, you can find any American food you like here.
Singapore is a tiny tiny country and it's very rare to see anything that hasn't been built in the immediate past. There are a few colonial buildings in the center of the city which haven't been torn down. This is the fence on the back of the property.
The cars aren't any different from what you would see in the US.
A curator at the Asian Civilization museum has a sense of humor. This was the winning duck from a million duck race which they did to celebrate the cleaning of the river and the overall revitalization of the river area. The river was once used for trade. Now it is mainly used for tourism, which restaurants, etc. lining it's shores.
I found myself watching office workers in the CBD area and their lunch eating habits. Then I realized that I no longer work in real estate and moved on... either way, Singaporeans normally take 2 hours for a leisurely lunch in the middle of the day.
