My Singapura in pictures (2009)

M, B, our friends from Iran, Agha Moandes ('Mr Engineer') Asaad and his wife and I went to Singapore after our trip to Indonesia. Our friends wanted to maximise the time they had in this part of the world, so it was one hectic round of Kuala Lumpur, Indonesia, Singapore (and later Pulau Pinang).

The Singapore skyline, the huge malls, the wide roads, the riverside...

The almost compulsory Singapore River cruise

By the iconic Raffles Hotel

At the Long Bar of Raffles Hotel, where the 'Singapore Sling' was first concocted, and the only place in squeaky clean Singapore where you can litter the floor with peanut shells. The peanuts you see in the middle of the table are complimentary, so litter away!

B at the Long Bar (pun intended).

In another part of Raffles Hotel, beautifully restored.










B getting her feet wet at Siloso, the artificial beach on Sentosa Island. She's the one with the shopping bag, on the beach!

Waiting for the show to begin on Sentosa - the sound and light show, "Sounds of the Sea".
