(more details and photos to come)
Sunday in Singapore:
- Returned to Clarke Quay to see it in the daytime – uninteresting and deserted
- Firestation museum (?)
- Armenian Church – it’s round! And was commissioned over a hundred years ago when there were only a dozen Armenian families in Singapore
- Decided to skip the Peranakan Museum since I went to one in Penang
- Latte and blogging (free wi-fi) at SoHo Cafe (see my other blog entry) as it started raining, hard!
- Singapore Art Museum (SAM) with modern art exhibits
- Walked back through Bugis St area – surprising how walkably close these neighbourhoods are in central
- Peeked in the Goddess of Mercy Hindu temple (no photos allowed)
- Bought 2 little gadgets at Sim Lim Square electronics mall: a cigarette lighter USB adapter (S$6/US$5) and a phone recharger (S$20/US$16 – you can charge it with a USB cable, then you recharge your phone via the micro-USB plug; the latter one would have come in very handy earlier this trip when my smart phone battery died in the middle of the day!)
- Enjoyed a seafood dinner at an outdoor hawker centre at the Esplanade on Marina Bay with Sue and her friends
