Singapore Sling

Sara's now off for the summer, and we kick off our travels by heading down to Singapore to stay with Rosa who's been working there for a month. Matt joins us after a few days. After a year in Bangkok, Singapore comes as a bit of a shock. It's just so clean and tidy. Imagine a city run by the Disney Corporation, and you're half way there. It makes for a very pleasant place to spend a few days though; we particularly enjoy the karaoke booths, where we hole ourselves up for a couple of nights singing Glen Medeiros classics. I read in the local paper that as well as outlawing chewing-gum and executing Australians, the one-party government also randomly drug-tests its own citizens. I guess all that cleanliness comes at a cost...
