We were sorry to leave oz today A country of great contrasts and vitality to make things happen. Caught a jet plane to Singapore. Journey ok apart from the early start. Melbourne pretty quiet at 7:00 in morning. Mind you the toll road to the airport was pretty busy!
Arrived in Singapore in a bit of a rain storm so nice and humid it is their wet season so it rains every day. Hotels supply umbrellas to their residents to help keep the weather off.
Loads of shopping centres. We are staying near the Paragon Shopping Centre which is pretty large over about ten floors including two underground, but there must be a dozen or so nearby along Orchard Boulevard of equal size. Makes you wonder where they get the business. The Chistmas decs looked pretty good on the boulevard put Regent Street and Oxford Street to shame.
Early morning Melbourne. Junction of Elizabeth and Burke. Melbourne built on a grid system 1 mile x 1/2 mile originally
