Singapore ... the affair continues

We first visited Singapore in late 2001, a few months before we moved to Canberra. We're still entranced by both cities. They're friendly, clean, safe and packed with cultural and culinary delights. Dare I say, we're in a stable, long-term relationship with Canberra, but still like to have the occasional fling with Singapore?! We were there again last week, and enjoyed a mixture of old and new delights.

The new included ...

Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve, where we met monitor lizards (above), mudskippers, squirrels, turtles, fish and birds

Lunch in the Tiffin Room at Raffles Hotel

A wonderful Singaporean cooking class

 and Gardens by the Bay, where they were celebrating
the upcoming Year of the Goat.

The old favourites included ...

Singapore Botanic Gardens

Chinatown

... and (of course) street food

We also had the privilege of visiting one of Singapore's famous black and white bungalows, stocked up on books at Books Kinokuniya and browsed the magnificently eccentric Mustafa Centre. Farewell Singapore. Thanks for a great week!
