Bangkok to Singapore

A relaxing morning with a late and lazy dreakfast, wonderful, then a trip to the airport. I'm surprised how emotional I feel at leaving Bangkok, at first it over whelmed me but within the last 3 days the city has crept under my skin and into my heart, such a different city with so many facets to it, could you ever completely discover it? Onwards to Singapore ... flying Tiger Airways on Friday 13th is a bit of a worry, hopefully this won't be our last blog!

Security at Bangkok airport is strict our passports are threatening to make the best sellers list. The chinese security lady's in a bad mood and I'm struggling to obey the instructions fast enough,"soo's n boo ox" turns out to be - take your shoes off and put them in the blue box. And at Singapore we must look suspicious or maybe the Chinese security lady phoned ahead as we have our cases scanned before being allowed into the country!

Another beautiful hotel with great city views and a lounge bar overlooking the spectacular Clarkes Quay. An evening stroll open mouthed at all the high rise buildings, shopping centre covered by giant umbrella like fans that change colour and chinese new year decorations everywhere. This city is so very different to Bangkok, modern, affluent, no visible cables, and wide walkways just like America. We're eating indian tonight at a quayside restaurant while people watching, it's a great combination.
