Singapore Sri-Style!

On my first week in Asia, I became fast friends with a fun Indian woman Sri.  We shared the same longtail boat to a remote bay on Ko Phi Phi in Thailand.  We had a blast island hopping together for a few days, along with some friends we met from England.  Sri just started her first job in Singapore so I headed there after kuala Lumpur to experience this city through her eyes and live local style for a few days...  This is Sri:


Her apartment building:


And the view from her apartment:


The first night she got us on the VIP guest list of Southeast Asia's most exclusive nightclub - Zouk - and we didn't get home till 5AM.  Then we slept till the early afternoon and headed out to explore the city.  

A European-style area of Singapore...




Detail of a Hindu Temple in Chinatown...




The best dumplings EVER!  (...thought of you, Bill!)





And I couldn't believe my eyes... the Singaporeans were doing Texas Two-Step...


Some even in full Western regalia... ha!


Playing Mah Jong...
