My souvenir from Singapore will be a very nice umbrella which I had to buy today! I've been exploring on foot, as usual when I arrive in a new place, and the choice was air conditioned shopping malls or very warm, wet and humid streets and waterfronts. I've finally left behind the entirely western world of the USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, and have arrived somewhere which is a bit of a halfway house to entirely different cultures. It's a real mixture of the British heritage and all the other cultures that have established themselves here - Malay, Chinese, Indian, and more. The hostel reflects this, with its eclectic architecture, and just yards from a big mosque.
