The Arabic quarter







Today I went to the Indian and Arabic neighborhoods of Singapore. I really enjoyed walking in the small streets with different color houses. This area reflects the multicultural aspect of Singapore.

The dragon fruit



When I saw this fruit I immediately wanted to taste it. But I was a bit disappointed. It doesn't have much taste.

shopping malls and food courts



Singapore is filled with shopping malls and food courts. I've never seen that many in my life.

10S$ 10 minutes haircuts







Two Indian men were trying to attract tourists with a python: "5S$ to hold the albino snake!"
A group of Australians wearing shorts and flip flops arrived and all wanted to take pictures with it.

stormy weather in Singapore






Spring rolls!




Today for lunch, I went to a Vietnamese restaurant called Indochine and had the best spring rolls I have ever eaten.

A gecko at my window


I made a new friend today: a small green gecko attached to my window. He wouldn't leave. I attempted to take a picture of him with my really bad camera.

Abba...Chinese style!




On my first day in Singapore, I went to the botanical garden to watch a Chinese orchestra perform. They played abba songs with Chinese instruments. The conductor was dancing around. Very entertaining!


Apparently, there are a lot of free concerts in this garden so I'll definitely be going there a lot.


In the garden, there are a lot of very interesting looking trees (see first pic).


From Danmark to Singapore = climate chock




I just arrived in Singapore and it is so warm and humid. It's going to take some getting used to.
I am glad there is a swimming pool and air conditioning where I am staying:)

Hello Hello

I am en route to Singapore. I have never been to Asia so this new adventure will undoubtably be interesting.
