Below: This me in Nirvana. SHOPPING FOR JADE! The only issue is that I was not fabulously wealthy. But these lovely ladies were having a ball negotiating with me. I bought the two necklaces on the wall (left) and then showed them to a Malayan colleague (I was there to work, cough) who told me I got a really great deal, so I went back again and bought more!!!
I tried on so many bangles that my hands and wrist hurt! They had a lavender one that I was in love with, but it cost too much!!! But I did buy a bangle for my twin sister. It was mostly white with a dark red band and some bright green cloudy lines.
Below is a photo of me in the Chinese / Japanese Gardens Bonsai section. It was taken by a Japanese woman tourist who was there with her young son.
Here is a "small" sidewalk hazard that I saw in Holland Village. A chasm just opened up in the middle of the sidewalk, but never fear, there was a handy concrete tie that nimble pedestrians could step over to avoid falling into the bottomless pit!
Really!!! Could you imagine seeing this in the US??? Could you imagine the lawsuits??? I don't recommend that people dependent on wheelchairs visit Singapore, as in general things were not handicapped compliant at all that I could see.
If you want to read about the rest of my Singaporean adventure, just click on the label "Singapore" and they will all appear. Magic!
Love reading about your trip to Singapore,Sue.
