I started off my next day on these Cable Cars that went over the water onto an island called Sentosa. It was really, really pretty and there was a lot to do there. I walked around the island a bit, went on a little Luge ride and then went to Underwater World -- a sea aquarium that a lot of local people had told me about. And i can't lie, it kinda blew. I could almost spit from the entrance to the exit. It took me 20 minutes to walk through the whole thing. I mean, there were a few cool things there but it was just really small compared to some things here in the US. Not worth my time or money. I wish i had just done more stuff on the island instead. But i had no more time to explore the island because i had places to go and people to see.
So I headed off to Little India and Arab Street for a little more local flavor. I walked around a bit and went into a bunch of shops. A lot of silks and things like that. Then i stopped at this little indian shop to eat. And here's what i learned in Little India. 1. They are NOT messing around when it comes to spices. 2. Don't forget kleenex, you need them for said spices. 3. Green tea helps with the burn, but ice cream afterwards helps even more. :)
I walked around pretty much the rest of the day (like over 6 more hours). Saw all these temples and stuff. And crazy people waving incense and flowers and throwing coins for buddha. And I kept walking. And then I just kept walking even more. I walked so much I thought my legs might fall off. Literally. I mean, i got to the point where if i think if i took another step, i might have died. So i did want any bright young lady would do in the same situation...i got a massage. Oh yes. Oh yes.
Tokyo report coming up next.
