It being a new day, the pancakes came many hours later as we moved towards South Asia having taken an easterly route to get there.

The final meal consisted of a fruit salad and coffee with the usual decorative elements to the tray as marmalade arrived for the croissant along with yogurt to round out the meal and tortillas filled with eggs before the entry cards were produced.

Once I cleared customs and found my driver, I appeared at the Swissotel and rode up the surreal elevator to my room with the remarkable view of the harbor

After a rest, Vibeke came by and we took a taxi to Little India where the decorations were not yet lit as we looked down the street and I recorded the decorations on the temple as I noticed the Jungle restaurant across the way and the street sign for Karbau Road and the vegetarian restaurant though we went to the Banana Leaf restaurant where these were the wipes before this drink came for Vibeke as I watched before varieties of nan arrived along with our first curry and crispy bread as we poured curry onto our plates (which looked very much like placemats) before the second curry which was spiced with tomato flavor and had a wonderful taste arrived. We then walked around the neighborhood observing the flowers used to make these decorative necklaces as I observed even more flowers before we went to the store where saries and fabrics for saries were sold.

Next we walked past the vegetables for sale with these okra and carrots among others. After the obligatory phone booth picture we eventually made our way back to Raffles and to the Long bar where many Singapore Slings were offered on this menu along with peanuts (not to mention pigeons in all directions) and I had the traditional as Vibeke improvised.
