Anyway, does nt matter if its carpet fluff, it s a really beautiful photograph. well done1 I love the contrasts in the hotel window view. Full marks there for great composition and mahvlus sky.

More on this when I can get properly on line again.<br /><br />PatientG - Singapore has every justification in calling itself a garden city. More will be revealed in later posts.<br /><br />NewShoot - if you shaved a rambutan, you'd get a snedded rambutan - see back posts - but the texture of the flesh is not unlike a lychee. <br /><br />Arabella - mainly for you, and coming up in a post soon, gory details of our Baba and Nyonya experiences.

I remember how green it was and how it rained every day for a short period of time - very heavy and very warm rain but it cleared the humidity for a while. We also went on a trip to one of the islands where the British signed Singapore over to the Japanese and then came back on a frightening cable car. I have heard that Singapore prides itself on being a garden cityHelen/patientgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02164036792673009326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6849167564811493528.post-88447194638755358582010-06-04T12:04:13.779+01:002010-06-04T12:04:13.779+01:00Are rambutans lychees with depilation difficulties...Are rambutans lychees with depilation difficulties?!NewShoothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01559856422504670476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6849167564811493528.post-53234466095230349492010-06-04T09:28:40.841+01:002010-06-04T09:28:40.841+01:00Another one stopped at Singapore although we did a...Another one stopped at Singapore although we did actually spend two nights and did both the obligatory tour (temples and orchids) with bossy guide and then a longer stint at the fantastic Botanic Gardens on our own. It was December and so weird to see the entire place covered in Christmas decorations (snow storms in the mall!) and yet it was so hot and humid. We got caught in one of those thunderstorms, lost and unable to get a taxi, ruined my only pair of elegant heeled sandals. <br /><br />If Rob doesn't want the e-kiss I'll have it!Arabella Sockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10936438011119860497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6849167564811493528.post-86789783515639330202010-06-04T08:20:43.443+01:002010-06-04T08:20:43.443+01:00It sounds great!

If you need to wait several hours for your connection you can get a tour <i>for free</i>. It included a trip to the Botanic Gardens, lots of temples, a market and a slap up meal.<br /><br />It was a magnificent yet bizarre experience because technically I wasn't there at all because you don't go through customs to go on the tour.<br /><br />The humidity meant I felt like I was engulfed in a wet flannel the whole time I was there.<br /><br />Have no idea re picture, so sadly can't claim my e-kiss :(VPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732971362066784175noreply@blogger.com
