Although not many of us were able to go out during the daytime, the night- life in Singapore was well worth the time, although heavy on our wallets. One ' s eyes could get lost in the rows after endless rows of shops and restaurants. After we walked up and down Orchid Street to our heart ' s content, there were taxis and trains available to do a little further exploring. The city folk seemed to be a little more giddy than you would find in American cities such as L. A. or New York. Teenage girls in pony tails would approach us on the streets, anxious to try out some of their English they were learning in school. A couple of train stops away were the Asian Gardens. About ten acres of land setting out to capture the gardening styles, both old and new, of different Asian cultures. o flflh This was a nice relief after spending a few days in the crowded city. For those who hungered for culture there was Little India, where one could witness or perhaps visit Hindu temples or eat at one of the many delicious restaurants. There was also Little Japan. Little China, and Little Italy. At the southern- most tip of the island was another little island called Sentosa. Sentosaishometo an enjoyable waterpark and elevated monorail in which one can see all the way to Malaysia. Asian culture was fascinating to most of us who had never witnessed the density of theircities. We walked aroundthemulti-leveled malls for hours and at the very topof one, we heard music and talking. We happened upon a famous Singapore bar called The Beer House where kids of all ages spent their afternoons and nights; similar to our version of a cafe. After spending two weeks underway, Singapore was a fascinating and comfortable place to get some rest and relaxation.
