Singapore

This blog is supposed to be about India yet I find that most of my posts are about the trips we've taken since we landed in India.  Truth be told, Delhi is a good platform to launch into nearby cities and countries.  And Glen sometimes has to travel for work so sometimes it's nice for me to go have a peek at the world while he's at it.  This week was Singapore.  What is it?  A city?  A state?  A country?  All 3?  Either way it is a small island off the tip of Malaysia with it's own set of rules and regulations.  It's known as the 'fine' city.  Fine as in you will pay a hefty amount of money to the government if you so much as chew your gum in public or jaywalk within 50 ft. of a crosswalk.  We couldn't even hail a cab on the street because they could get fined.  Luckily there are taxi queue's and thank goodness for that because everyone knows how much Glen likes a good queue.  He's British, if he sees a queue he will get in it.  Anyways, a few thoughts on Singapore.  It is a beautiful city/state/country, very clean, the people are friendly and disciplined, and the food is amazing.  But the downside is that I found it very homogenous.  The women looked very high maintenance.  Every single thing is expensive except for the hawker food.  All in all it felt a bit sterile.
