Wednesday, wandering...

Wednesday. So I have been in Singapore for about a week now.   I wandered around Kampung Glam again, the Arab quarter. This time a took a look inside of the Sultan Mosque. It was fairly plain in comparison to several of the Mosques I went to while in Egypt a few years ago.

I ate at the same place, Zam Zam, for lunch, where I met an Irish woman, Gillian, who has been teaching in Kuala Lumpur. She had some great advice about traveling in Laos, as well as some really interesting stories.

I then went to Little India again and just wandered. Bought a pair of $1.60 sunglasses, doubtful they are actually UV protective…hum.

I then went to Harbor Front, near where me Dad works. I walked around a bit but the uber retail atmosphere turned me off. I think caught a bus back to Park Avenue, where I am now relaxing.

This afternoon it rained really hard. There was extremely loud thunder and some intense lightening-for a moment thought I was going to die whilst waiting for the bus. I was covered but it was perhaps the loudest thunder I have ever heard.
