Singapore at night

Hi Everyone,

   We really are lucky to have Lang and Douglas guiding us around Singapore.  We are exploring places we probably would have skipped without they’re saying, “Come on!”  After dinner at Newton Circus we ventured over to Clarke Quay, one of the hot spots of Singapore night life.  By the time we left the outdoor restaurants and mini-breweries were packed.  But as one Singapore gentleman told me on the MRT, Singapore is for eating!

You can see from what she is wearing the dress code here in Singapore is far different than that of Malaysia and Indonesia.

clip_image017  It was getting late for us, like 8:30 PM, but it was really too early for the crowds. 

We’re pretty much 12 hour people,  It gets light at 7 am and dark at 7pm, and so do we.

Doug’s favorite part of the evening was the neon lit radio controlled kites.  They whooped and dove and looked like something from Star Wars.

clip_image018  You can see the neon lights of the kite and the green “runway.”

Two kites were playing daredevil with each other with an occasional thwack letting you know they hit.  But no crashes.
