Well, today was my last full day in Singapore. Tomorrow it is back on the plane to Raleigh via a 4 hour layover in Newark. Today we went back to the Arab quarter to pick up some gifts, and then kind of layed low at the apartment until heading out to find some dinner.
We took the bus to the Esplanade and spent some time watching the sun set over the Singapore skyline, then walked back to Lau Pa Sat for a last dinner of Satay and Tiger beer. Not a bad way to spend the last evening in Singapore. I think that the top of my "Singapore Must Do List" would be to have Satay and Tiger beer at Lau Pa Sat. You have to do it after dark when they close down the street and set up tables. As our Satay hawker said... "The best way to have Satay is on the street... it reminds you that this is the way that we all used to eat"!
I am a bit too lazy right now to post pictures of the last hurrah in Singapore, but I will update the Flickr site soon. There will probably be one or two last entries from this trip, but it will be at least Monday 1/19 before the next update.
Have a good weekend!

I agree that a dinner of satay at Lau Pa Sat is a must do in Singapore. The satay is fabulous and the way they taut you to come to eat at their tables is an experience in and of itself. Despite the tauting, the staff are really quite friendly and willing to chat with you provided no potential clients are coming into their area. I promise that if any of you come to visit me we'll experience satay in the evening at Lau Pa Sat. Sad to see Alan go but have had a great time with him here.
