Sights of Singapore

Decided to stay in Singapore one more day, to see at least something of the city.
Shopping malls are aplenty and huge, and I honestly didn't know there is a consumer need for a mall that deals exclusively action figures. You know, Star Wars and Transformers etc. But now I know and there is.
Also went to the entertainment-hell of an island of Sentosa, to visit Underwater World, an aquarium. Hand-fed rays there, which was an experience. And served also as a sign of gratitude for what some relative of these fresh-water rays did to that Steve Irwin -character.

Moved out of the Carlton for more budget lodging, and now we're staying near Little India. The room is a small, windowless ashtray (wonder what the smoking-rooms are like, this is a non-smoker!), but price is cheap under Singaporean standards, and all we really need now is a bed and a shower. And being served by 3 different servants on the way from hotel elevator to hotel door (as is the way in Carlton), is not something i'm comfortable with anyway.

Little India is an area of Singapore where the hard-working men who build this city live in. They're all Indian. And seemingly Sunday night is their only night off, and then they put on their best shirts and gather in street corners in amazing masses to shake hands with one another and compare mobile phones.

Next destination is also decided on, we're heading to North-East coast of Malaysia with a train. Off that coast there are a couple of islands (Pulau Perinthian) that should be good for snorkeling and relaxing. And popular with the younger backpacker crowd, so things should be lively at nights as well.
The trip from here to the coast will be made by train, leaving tomorrow evening, and lasting some 13 hrs. This train route is called the Jungle Line, and it passes thru some of the oldest rain forest in the world.
