...a weekend in sunny Singapore: SD and I left the Overripe Mango for a two-day respite in the hive mind...a few vignettes and then the pics:
a) ...lost on Sentosa Island, we approached a Tamil gardener who told us in excellent English how to reach the aquarium...imagine an Isaan gardener with such language skills...
b) ...highly skilled Hindu mamas pushed their way through long lines of patient tourists using the head-crouch-elbows-out technique: SD and I followed closely in their slipstream...
c) ...many Chinese of whatever nationality have disgusting eating habits (we had to share a large round trough at one well-known restaurant)...
d) ...as highly organized as Singapore is, MRT, Sentosa and general street signage leaves much to be desired...
e) ...ALL the Singaporeans we met/dealt with were helpful...
...btw: the last pic is the view from our room...
