Well, we've left Shanghai for sunnier (and less polluted) climes. We've been in Singapore since Saturday and so far, things have been just fine (with the notable exceptions of the frogs almost becoming dinner's main course and me getting sand in places I didn't know existed). Otherwise, it's very nice with warm temps and sunny blue skies, good food, and polite friendly people. This pic was taken from our balcony; you can see the water in the distance. The frogs are keen to take a cruise but I'm a bit leery of them being so close to the water knowing how much they love that sort of thing (and also how clumsy they can be). They feel quite at home here, being from Hawaii as they are. Myself, I feel a bit out of place among the sundresses and squawking birds. But I have to admit the food is super-yummy and free booze at happy hour never killed anybody (well, it hasn't killed me yet, anyway).
We're planning a tour of Chinatown's Red Light District. Seems an educational sort of thing to do. One must stay current on recent goings-on at the brothels, don't you think? I guess it's a when-in-Rome sort of thing, but it was either that or a tour of the WWII prisoner-of-war camps, and that just seemed TOO educational for a stay in such a laid-back place. So, look out, hookers, here we come! I'm not sure what one wears on such a tour, but I doubt that my sock monkey dress would fit in. So I guess I need to go scrounge through my luggage and see what I can find. And I do need to help Lani and Pali prepare for the tour too; Chinatown can be a precarious place for a pair of frogs.
