Moving across town

---

After several days of schlepping across Orchard Road in order to make it to the nearest bus stop or MRT station - the most efficient and well organized public transport system I've ever been on., I had enough and decided to move across town and live out my remaining days in a more colorful part of town. I moved in to Sleepy Sam's hostel in Kampong Glam - the Muslim heart of the city.

I can't play catch up on all the sights seen and visited, but I have uploaded some pictures to give you a flavor of Singapore. If time permits, I'll add to this entry if only to keep my own memory straight!

Otherwise, it's onward and upward captain!

Enjoy.

love,
Vanessa

Chinatown Street
Best restaurant-supply place I've ever been in. SO MANY KNIVES! And fun tools. Don't worry, I restrained myself.

Protector of Year of the Horse
That's me baby!

Hawker Center
Delicious

MRT Station
Singapore's very clean underground train system with public art in the stations!

One of the Quays
Pronounced "Key" - It's either Boat or Clarke. I can't keep track of which one is on which bank.

great photos
Hi Vanessa, Great photos (I'm happy to see my shot of you @ the whiskey bar made it into the lineup)! I am really struggling w/ the jetlag at the moment, and getting more envious of your epic journey w/ each blog post. As for the "quays": bizzare tall umbrellas = Clarke Quay, overpriced pepper crabs = Boat Quay... Jon
