Singapore Photos

Singapore waterfront - on a very nice day! Not quite Hong Kong Harbour, but still nice. Below you can see Gary in the same area - by some Chinese lanterns for a local celebration. The other photo shows him scrambling across a very scary bridge in the tame rainforest park in the centre of Singapore island. Ever the brave adventurer!


You can find some remarkably tame monkeys in the park! These two were very nonchalant about our presence, as you can see from how close we got when taking the photo! The Mum was far more interested in ensuring her son didn't have fleas...
A strange thing we've noticed in Asia is the use of fish to clean dead skin off feet. it's a luxury Spa therapy apparently. But we've never come across it in a shop window before! Look at all the little fishes attacking these blokes feet! It was fascinating to watch - quite a crowd of passers by like us gathered to gape and take piccys.
