Bemused…

.. a phrase on the T shirt I picked up from Singapore last week. Do people really do that in Singapore?

Was there last week. I should say Singapore is the ideal place to visit if you have a shopaholic wife (Are there any other kinds anyways?), a very restless 4 year old kid, and you have plans to shed some weight.
Stayed at Park Hotel right on Orchard street. Visited Sentosa(ropeway, underwater world and 4D Magix were good), Jurong bird park (birds of prey show is a must-see), Night Safari (Great experience) and Snow city. Kiddo had fun there. Shopping was done mainly at China town, Orchard and Suntec. Got a taste of a variety of far east foods. Found Singaporeans to be extremely friendly - they love to talk. (this observation based on my interactions with the shop owners, cabbies and hotel staff - Maybe I am generalising. And then there was also this gentleman we got very friendly with - Sunny Jeremiah Ong, who is a limo driver cum Interior furnishing consultant).

We also had our share of embarassment, thanks to Kichu (my 4 yr old son) - At an Indonesian restaurant. Since I didn’t want to give chicken to him that day, I told him that chicken was bad. And while the waitress came along to collect the check, my son says to her: ‘I didn’t eat chicken ‘cos chicken is very bad’. Needless to say, I had to shell out some extra $s as tip to save my face. 4 year olds can be dangerous.

Overall, a great trip.
