Singapore is an island republic at the top of the Malay Peninsula. It was founded by Sir Stamford Raffles in 1819. It is a city of any cultures, colors, cuisines and has one of the business harbors in that part of the world. It is less than 85 miles north of the equator and the most southerly part of Asia.
Sightseeing we went to the Raffles Hotel which is famous for a drink named in honor of Raffles ... "Singapore Sling." It's loaded with alcohol and fruit juices and hits you like a ton of bricks!
There is also a 5000 room hotel (three buildings) with a large structure on top which looks like a boast ... but no, it's their swimming pool!
Because of the climate they have an incredibly beautiful orchard garden with many varieties and colors. The grow wild. The heat and humidity is good for the vegetation, but I know it wilted me!
Still having a good time!
Regards to all,
