Singapore has a shopping are called Orchard Road which makes Oxford Street in London look quite small. It is full of huge shopping malls as well as ‘smaller’ shops and I think you could probably find anything you could think of here. Today we thought we would take a look. The shopping doesn’t particularly appeal but we thought that we ought to experience it. I have to say that once more it was very hot and humid so we meandered in and out of the shops just for the air con. We passed by Emerald Hill which had some original shop-houses all of which had been refurbished and according to the information board no. 2 was furnished in the traditional way but when we went to make enquiries I was told that it was no longer on view and when we looked it was now part of a bar, what a pity! We experienced our first Singapore shower while waiting for the bus, it lasted about an hour and we were amazed at how heavy the rain was, however, it soon dried up. Tonight we wandered along by the river and after cocktails ate in one of the many restaurants there.
We are quite excited as we learnt late this afternoon that the trip we wanted to do to Malasia was to go ahead.
