Wireless is finally working, just about to head out to a half-day tour… It’s overcast but not raining yet– still expected to hit 32C though.

No photos yet–basically collapsed after writing the post last night.

Back later.

Well, the tour of singapore was interesting. Saw parts of little india, a buddhist temple, found out that “singapore” comes from “singa” the malay word for lion, and “pore” for fish (mermaid, perhaps?)….,saw parts of the botanicv gardens too (the orchid gardens).

Had lunch at McDonalds… (kidding), but ALL the US chains are here in large numbers. Any lost/culture-shocked americans/westerners should be able to recover somewhat in one of their regular fast food/coffee/convenience/book chains

Spent time after lunch wandering around, and got a little wet–though you’d have trouble getting cold and wet, so no real risk of hypothermia.

Very early start tomorrow (5am), so going to get an early dinner and head to bed.

Oh, got a bunch of photos too… will see if i can get them online.

PS; can someone let me know if they got my email earlier today?
