Ah those Crazy Guys

image168334768.jpgInnocent eyes look away, this is a top brand of shop in Singapore along with Top Shop, New Look and TK Max.

I resisted the urge to go into the shop, but could resist taking a photo of it.

Top 10 things to do in Singapore apparently are:

1. Botanical Gardens
2. Look at the artwork in the lobby of the Ritz Carlton

And that is where I stopped reading, I mean what kind of wierdo travels almost half way round the world to look at a hotel lobby (oh and number 10 is to visit the red light distric to see leggy hookers, come on)!

Now our top 10 goes like this:

1. Zip Wire
2. Singapore Flyer
3. A sling at Raffles
4. Have a suit made
5. The Luge at Santosa Island
6. Make your own tea at Sho Trppan
7. Walk the length of Orchard Road
8. Visit the numerous malls
9. Go to the top of the Marina Bay Hotel
10. Evening Tea in the hotel Shangri-La

At all costs avoid the overpriced high street restaurants (SGD 240 for surf n turf that’s 120 quid or SGD 115 for 2 pizza which is 55 quid)

Other World?

image1902416636.jpgWe already knew Singapore was another world away, but we had no idea that The Doctor had investments over here too. The hotel provides complimentary water each day to keep us hydrated (who needs to carry it though when we can sweat pints of it in seconds when outside!).

Watch out for those Daleks, we hear they make a mean Singapore Sling.

We exterminated a slush puppy from here.

Bungle, George and Zippy

image1898130851.jpgYes we have done it, travelled all the way via the MRT to Harbour Front, then a Sky Cable ride across to Santosa Beach and a walk in the very sticky and wet atmosphere to the MegaZip.

At 75m tall, 750m long and speeds of 50kph (32mph to the oldies in the audience), this is Asia’s longest an fastest Zip wire.

All harnessed and ready to go (they tie that harness so tight even I could hit soprano, laaaa). You have to climb 10 flights of stairs, get hooked to the wire and step out into the abyss. At just over 1 minute long this is a cracking ride and I got it all on video. Honest the girly screams are coming from Mrs Fogg who loved every minute.

A must try for everyone.

We Mega Zipped to here.

So What Day Is It?

image1645723325.jpgEver had one of those days where you wake up after a really heavy thunderstorm during the night and have no idea what day it is? I know as unlikely as it seems some people must be either totally clueless and have been marooned on a desert island somewhere or wander around thinking to themselves, gosh wish I knew what day it is, if only there was some way of knowing (stay with me on this), well all you need to do (beside ask someone, turn on the TV, look at a newspaper, etc) is make your way to Singapore, then the Hotel Shangri-La and get in one of the lifts. Why I hear you ask (beside the fact that the flight alone would cost more than several thousand newspapers, or even paying someone to tell you), well it’s obvious, because at midnight they have an army of workers (maybe it’s the borrowers), who come out and replace the carpet on the floor of all 6 lifts to show what day it is.

Simples!
