Singapore, financial Mecca, has replaced Switzerland as the banking capital. Land is in limited supply (obviously) as the buildings are incredibly tall and architecturally innovative. It is clean and has very little crime but tourists can still be fleeced!
This was the first day of the Chinese New Year, the year of the rabbit with major celebrations in the extensive Chinatown. Those are roasted ducks hanging in the foreground, not rabbits.
We did two taxi rides, three different bus rides of the hop-on - hop-off variety, as well as a monorail back to our ship. We did NOT go shopping although most of Singapore is shopping malls.
This morning we said goodbye to the friends we have made over the last 35 days, so we are on to a new leg of the journey.
