Yesterday I went to the wet market by our house - it was amazing, and there were all of these nice Aunties there helping me decide what to buy to put in my stir fry. I think that all of the vegetables and the tofu together didn't come to $5, which is about $3.50 American.
I then went to meet Matt for lunch. We ate some great Indonesian food from the hawker stands by his work. Here's a picture o
f Matt in front of his b
uilding, and then there's a picture looking up his building (it's 52 stories!!).Though it was really hot, I made a stupid decision and ended up walking 4 miles (see google pedometer which apparently works in Singapore!!) through Chinatown, Clark Quay, which seems to be an upscale eaty/shoppy area, through Fort Canning Park, and up to Orchard Road - the shopping area. It was hot, but luckily I had my sumbrella.
Today, after the Cavs lost and I talked to Jill, Jo and Mike (not related events), I took the free shuttle from our MRT (subway) stop to IKEA. Pretty exciting. Now we have dishes...if Matt likes them. :)
On view today: Clark Quay (the place with the fountain), Orchard Road (with all the people), a bunch of dragons and Chinese Lanterns in Chinatown, a SUPER speed hand dryer in a bathroom (yes - I took a picture in a bathroom).

i hope you bring your nalgene along with your sumbrella. that weather could easily dehydrate!
they also don't seem to drink here! not water at least - maybe teas and soya milk...i think if i carried a nalgene i would look too american (not that i'm not asian or indian, but still!)
