Singapore First Impressions


finally arrived, somehow got rid of the yetleg in no time. what can i say the stay was not really advantegous. uncomfortable seats on the airplane, delicious food and long waiting hours. had a little 8 hour stay in dubai but due to the tiredness we decided not to go out to the city. at approximatly 4 oclock local time, muslim prayers woke me up from my beauty sleep in the cold airconditioned airport.

now we re here in Singapour . still tired and it is extremley hot. what i can say from my impressions so far is that it smells like curry, fresh fruits and everyone is from somewhere else. apparently there is 75 percent chinese, 15 percent malai and the rest is from somewhere else. honestly, i guess i couldnt disstinguish locals from foreigners, since everyone is from somewhere else.

A definite brandmark of this citystate is that everyone / at least at first sight everyone wears brand, owns an I Phone and appears to be pretty well off. . . Due to the high luftfeutigkeit, we sewat every little drop of water out of our bodies.
The area in which we stay is called little India. Mostly Indian of course.
The last day in singapore we decided to explore the art scence a little. whilst passing through the city it was interesting to observe, that everything seemd to be prohibited. to eat, drink, smoke in the bus and train, to trespass the airport area, they d even shoot you. *see picture* The national university turned out to be quite some fun. First we dropped into a graduation party, then we could have sampled free food from the feast, and the art was astonishing. Cheong Soo Pieng was the main artists name. if you have a chance, check out his work. its defnitly worth a view.
