We started with Chinatown where the density of souvenirs is large in a small space. We each got a few things for other people. Adan really stocked up on the magnets because of the 4 for $10 deals. I went in on a couple magnets with him so he doesn't end up with 30 at the end of the day.
I think it's probably the weekend being the reason why the malls are so packed. After Chinatown, we took a taxi to Orchard Road. First at one of the shopping centers off of Orchard and then some of the shops on Orchard. By the 3rd or 4th shop it was pretty clear that none of us really wanted to go shopping anymore. But at the same time we wanted to do something. We ended up catching a movie at the Cathay Cinema at Orchard. The cinemas are different here in that the seats are assigned when you purchase them. (Of course we can choose the seats) I was also surprised at how nice the chairs are with ample leg room. The movie though was not that great.
We came back to the hotel after the movie so that Kamil could do some packing. He is leaving tonight to get on a plane that leaves at 1 am. We all went out to Clarke Quay for dinner. Looking for a restaurant seemed difficult tonight. We checked up just about every menu by the river and ended up at Hooters. We also discovered that this is the first Hooters in Asia. We had a good time with beers and wings.
It's the last night in Singapore, but not quite the last day. At least I wouldn't count it because Adan and I are not flying out of Singapore until 11:30 pm. We practically have another day left to go. I'm not sure what we'll be doing tomorrow, but we'll be taking it easy.
I'm really glad I took on this opportunity. I got to see and learn a lot about Singapore as well as meet some really great people on the way. It'll be sad to leave Singapore, but it will be nice to go home. I'm not ready for the long trip in plane rides and layovers. The jet lag will be killer too.
