Singapore

Our request for a room that sleeps three was interpreted as a room that sleeps two comfortably and one who gets to sleep on a short roll-away designed for a small Asian female that will fold to create a human taco when you attempt to lay on it. We pushed the two single beds together and made do.

Breakfast was buffet style with an excellent assortment of world breakfast cuisine. My stomach is growling right now thinking about it.

The hotel provided us with a map which can double was a table cloth for the average American sized dining table. It's humorous to watch people, especially small Asian people, unfold and attempt to use the over-sized map on the street corners.

It's very warm and humid in Singapore, so humid it's sticky.

Today we saw: Marina Bay, Esplanade Theater, The Raffles Hotel and The Marina Bay Sands Hotel.

The views from the 57th (Park Level) floor of the Marina Bay Sands are magnificent.

Architecture in parts of Singapore is so modern it made me feel as though I was on a set of a science fiction thriller. It's almost intimidating. 

Dinner was authentic and delicious. We were the only crackers at the street side eatery. We enjoyed noodle dishes, fried prawn balls and dumplings.
