You won't find gum in this photo! (Because they don't sell any!)
The art museum at night.
Just being dramatic. We won't be arrested. But chewing gum is illegal in Singapore.
Also, drug traffickers suffer instant death.
To our advantage it is illegal for taxi drivers to overcharge. What a terrific law.
The collection of "do not do this" signs!
oops took a picture of a "no camera" sign.
Anyway, we are being very careful and unloaded all the chewing gum we brought from the U.s. We bought chewable mentos for a breath freshener. We don't plan on doing anything major here. We only have 4 days, so I'm sure we will stay out of trouble.
Little India
Our hostel is by Little India so I think we will eat Indian food tonight. Luckily Singapore is immaculate in so many ways. Because of the strict laws and regulations. Everything is SO CLEAN. This means I don't quite yet have to fear getting sick from eating anything out of the ordinary, or anything local atleast.
The last day in Singapore we visited Sentosa Island. This island was interesting and cleary different from any beach I'd ever been to. It was set up similar to an amusement park. It had a free tram that took you to each of the 4 beaches and even the southern most point in SouthEast Asia. and the sign does say it is Asia's southernmost tip closest to the Equator!
Southern-most point!

And the food....
Singaporean food is legendary, with bustling hawkers (indoor or outdoor cafeterias) and 24-hour coffee shops and shopping malls... offering cheap food from all parts of Asia and many Indian options for super cheap. Such a delicious experience.

What? No chewing gum? No bazooka or hubba bubba?
