"A relaxing stop over" Singapore by K.Knight

Singapore Travel Guide: 4,509 reviews and 10,201 photos

VT meet @ McCafe by Lido cinema, 7pm Oct 28 2004.

Due to the International pressure placed upon myself from Fazahar & Jaka63, I have started to build my Singapore page, Hee Hee Hee!!!!

After spending 21 days on a safari through Africa, Anne and I decided to stop off in Singapore for 5 days on our way home. I must say that I am glad that we did and we wish to thank all of the Singapore VT'ers who made us feel very welcome in this beautiful city!

Our group consisting of sha_stallion, Fazahar, Zender & wife, leonik, jaka63, swesn, Rodan44 & wife Trisanna, TheNanyangChinaman, mignonne, cheapskate, victorwkf, icyjo24, joolsg, Anne and I began to disperse as Jaka63 and Joolssg (with sha_stallion, Icyjo24 & cheapskate) decided to hatch a plan and introduce Anne and I to to some "REAL FOOD." So, after we consumed too much coffee, we all left McCafe and headed down Orchard Road!!!

And don't you love it when a plan comes together???

We hit Glutton Street for the fantastic experience of "REAL FOOD" and I must say that we were very very impressed! Anne and I ate an array of different foods, and I really enjoyed the satay sticks before Joolssg tempted me with a local desert that almost killed me!!!!!!!!

Anne and I would like to thank all of the Singapore VT group for making our stay a memorable and enjoyable experience.

    Nice page on a country i still need to write my page for! I can help out a little with that bronze bird. I believe it is entitled Robin, and is by the Columbian artist Fernando Botero - lots of his stuff is ruder than that one!
