Now at the end of our second day of being within Singapore and another storm is brewing. It's very clean here. no rubbish anywhere! It feels rather strict here mind - if you cough or show the slightest bit of distain in public you are automatically fined :S. For example if you're caught drinking on the MRT (subway) and by drinking I mean ANY fluid, 1000 Singapore Dollars leaves your pocket. Maybe we got too used to Thailand's liberal stance on just about anything. It is strange walking around town with loads of signs telling you what can and cannot be done, it is the same as the UK but when you haven't come across anything like that for a while you notice it a lot more when it pops up again.
We visited the Zoo today. A rather unique Zoo in that there are very few cages, many animals are allowed to roam about especially the monkeys that have ropes and access to many trees so it wasn't a rare sight to have a moneky swinging overhead! We saw the Polar bears getting fed and I ended taking part in the Sealion show that saw me having to stand 20 metres from the animal and throwing a frisbee that it would catch. A Giraffe would have had a better chance receiving my first attempt and the tranners would not let me go until we had succeeded, luckily the second try saw success. My prize for this feat was to allow for the creature to mount itself next to me and kiss me on the cheek. Fishy.
We have still a few days to burn, maybe a visit to Sentosa tomorrow (Singapore's pleasurebeach!), or maybe a ride on their version of the London Eye. Choices, choices!
