Singapore - Day 8
Everyone seemed relieved when we set foot onto Singapore this afternoon. We are finally back in what is perceived to be a cleaner, safer and more culturally familiar country.When we arrived at the airport, Trevor promptly drank from a water fountain - just because he could. I feel more at home here too. Singapore's lush greenery and open space reminds me a little of Vancouver.
By the time we arrived, it was already late afternoon. After quickly dropping off our bags at NUS, the Singaporeans treated us to a dinner at a Hainanese Chicken restaurant. The food was great.
Orchard Road
After dinner, we wandered over to Orchard Road, the main shopping district of Singapore. Even though it was late at night, the streets were still lively with throngs of people. It is obvious there is a mixed population here. I know I have not been in this country for long, but it doesn’t feel like there is a Chinese dominance here. However, HP later told me racism in Singapore occurs in very subtle ways.
