Caroline - Believe me you don't have to spend more time than you would like to jostling shoulder to shoulder with the whole of Singapore.
You could look down on the crowds from your hotel and miss the pushing & poking. And of course you are in the food capital of note!
Boy do they know cooking of every discription - Besides Asian you have Irish, British, Scandanavian, Indian, Japanese, French and a host of others.
We stayed at the Shangrila Rasa Sentosa and dined on the terrace (French fare)overlooking the bay with white sand and palms trees gently swaying in the breeze.
That reminds me - gotta get back soon!

Nikki, if you say it out loud, and pause before "Chocolates" all will be revealed.
We three kings of Orient are
One on a bicycle, one in a car
One on a tricycle, licking an icicle,
Following yonder star
Jingle bells, Batman smells
Robin's gone away,
The batmobile has lost a wheel,
and landed in the Tay
(I'm from Perth, remember)

Mm, that does sound nice, tod !
Good King Wencelas
Knocked a bobby senseless
Right in the middle of Marks and Spencers.
(Yes, I know it relies on mispronouncing 'Wenceslas', and isn't actually to the right tune, but we were probasbly about 6
)
And
While shepherds washed their socks by night/all hanging on the line. The angel of the Lord came down/ and said that pink one's mine.
Happy Christmas, all !

Mentioning M&S reminds me - not very Christmassy, but in the UK tango has been much in the public eye in recent weeks - that I can never hear La Cumparsita (THE tango tune) without thinking of
"Marks and Spencers
and British Home Stores"

We three drunks from Omaha are
Spending Christmas Eve in a car
Driving, drinking, glasses clinking
Heading for yonder bar
O
Drink to Charlie, drink to Fred
Drink to friends we haven't met
Swerving, speeding, signs unheeding
