Day 12 Singapore

We spent about 5 hours in Singapore today. We visited Chinatown, where you have many of the original Malay and Chinese buildings and stalls trying to flog off cheap merchandise at high prices. The highlight of Chinatown was the original Buddhist building.

After we waited 15 mins for two late people to get back on the bus we went to the royal selangor pewter house. We made our own pewter dish, that was very noisy but fun. 

Finally we went to Raffles hotel, and had a Singapore sling cocktail.  This cocktail originated here. The hotel was very nice. The long bar where we had the drinks had very interesting ceiling fans and the tables had raw peanuts. You toss the shells of the peanuts on the floor when you are finished. I wouldn't like to be the cleaner for that bar.

The plan was to have a champagne farewell from Singapore. They have brought roughly 100 glasses of champagne on top deck and now it is pouring rain lol. Damn, I want my free bubbles.
