Hey All! We're here in Singapore now! I haven't had time to update until now. We had a good trip, it's about 10 hours of travelling. Enjoyed a delicious burger from Burger King in the airport... Ahhh YUM!!!! And fountain Coke!!!! Singapore is an amazing place that is a melting pot of cultures. Last night we stayed in a hotel (well, it was more like a hostel really) that was located by Little India. So we went for a walk and checked it out. We felt rather conspicuous there with our bright white skin. Today we are now in the OMF guest house and it is in an area where there are a lot of Westerners.
I can't believe how many roads there are and how fast people drive. Even in Bandung there weren't that many roads. There are many kampungs (communities) that just have foot paths and not roads. Here there are more high rise apartment buildings - mostly government funded, leaving more room for parks and nice roads and such. Today it was a treat to take a walk on a sidewalk that didn't have big holes in it or a big gutter running under it that was full of trash and it was shaded with big beautiful trees!
Tomorrow we have a full day of appoinments. Then shopping for all those wonderful things that we can't get in Papua! Like Legos, playmobil, good shoes, clothes, brown sugar etc....
I will post photos when I return home.
Please remember Hugo in your prayers as he is running the show solo back in Sentani. Well, with the help of Rita and Ice.
