~Vic on navigation. Man, that is deep.

Today we explored Chinatown. We really explored Chinatown. By 7pm we were sitting at Boat Quay and planning to and see the largest fountain in the world (yep, that's right, IN THE WORLD!! and it's right here in Singapore) but then we realised that we were just way too tired, so we came home instead, which means that we may never see that fountain. I already regret it.

Chinatown was very fun, it was like a cleaner, tidier version of Hong Kong (complete with tailors trying to grab you and old men hawking up phlegm) which in turn is meant to be a cleaner, tidier and more capitalist version of mainland China. Interesting. We ate some mooncake, tried some "health" tea from a stall (oh boy. It was foul) and looked round 2 temples. The Hindu temples you have to take your shoes off to go inside. It felt kind of sacriligious to be wandering round taking photos because there were people in there really worshipping.

Yesterday was spent exploring Little India (it's all about the ghettoes in Singapore). We've also spent some time with my cousins who are really cool, and have incredibly important-sounding jobs. Peter's just gone to Hong Kong on a business trip, and Susan's flying to Mexico next week for a 2 day conference...crazy.
