Arrived
in Singapore last night after one of the hairiest flights
I have ever experienced. We were delayed on the runway at
Sydney due to a passing thunderstorm. We changed runways
and the pilot executed this banking right hand turn so low
over Botany Bay. There was turbulence for some time and following
that clear air turbulence for the next two or so hours. Horrible.
Anyway, some scenes from the hotel window below. Looking
south generally.
Went to my favourite coffee shop in Chinatown for a few drinks (ice lemon tea
and iced tea) and dinner. I had sliced fish with vegetables. There is a photograph
of it below. There are six photographs below that reveal what I could see from
my seated position. If I had the energy I would create a panorama. I might set
that as an exercise for my students.
Earlier that evening there was a lion dance celebrating either the Chinese
New Year or the opening of a new shop. To be honest I was not sure. One of
the nearby
shops had a mural painted on the wall and window shutters above the entrance.
Afterwards I took some time lapse photographs looking down Eu Tong Street towards
Victoria Street. Finally, I add a photograph of the soon to be completed Singapore
Management University campus adjacent to Bras Basah Road. The colour schemes
are not all that appealing. Day 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 |
