The Singapore sojourn took us all around the city and the guide explained what all of the buildings were and a bit of history relating to each. Of course, now I don't remember any of it. What I can say is that Singapore is very clean and efficient; one reason being that people are not allowed to retire here if they are still capable of working. The older citizens become street sweepers, waiters or tour guides. Our guide is a 71 year old woman who does not yet qualify for assistance. She is so fit and spry I don't think she will ever get to "the golden years". She took us to Chinatown, little India, the Singapore river, the Merlion, uptown and downtown. She was extremely knowledgable and proud of her town. Only Singapore dollars are accepted at most of the shoppes; I only had American and Australian, so I didn't buy any souvenirs. I didn't see anything that I couldn't do without anyway. It's very hot and humid here which zaps your energy quickly. I'm ready to check into my hotel and prepare for the long journey home. I can't wait to see my family again. I won't take this long of a trip again - I need a shannon/Eva fix!
