Hello City... again

Said good bye to Cambodia and landed in Singapore yesterday. I only have a day and a bit here. Yesterday I went for a bit of an explore in Clarke Quay, which is a trendy area with lots of bars and restuarants by the river. I got talking to an American who is working here for a few weeks so we had dinner and then wandered around Chinatown. Today we went to the zoo. It's pretty big and probably one of the best in the world. A lot of the enclosures have deep but narrow moats and no fences blocking the view, so you feel really close to the animals. It was nice to have someone to wander around with, I was worried Singapre would be a repeat of Beijing where I met no-one and get very bored!
Singapore's really nice - tons of modern buildings and skyscrapers but also lots of parks and greenery. They drive on the left (just as I've got used to looking the opposite way to cross the road!) and drive really safely - hardly any motorbikes and no crazy overtaking! The lanes are marked and the drivers stick to their own! The subway is great too - nicely air conditioned! Everything is really expensive though. I wish I had a few more days here, but I would have spent my entire budget for next month by the time I left!
I fly to Indonesia tomorrow afternoon, I'm not sure what the internet connection will be like - I think I'll be in the middle of no-where, but I will write again as soon as I can!
