This was our 3rd visit to Singapore and it wasn't raining. We had another car and guide, so we headed our about 8:30 and visited Little India, Arab Street and Chinatown. We had been to Chinatown before, but we also visited the oldest Chinese Temple in Singapore. Since it was before 10:00a.m., the markets were not crowded and we had access to all the stalls. After a couple of hours shopping, we headed to the famous Raffles Hotel. It is a beautiful, classy hotel that is famous for the Singapore Sling cocktail. Of course we had to have one. We went to the Long Bar and ordered the Sling and on every table is a big box of peanuts that you eat and throw the shells on the floor. We went through the shops.....Tiffany, Harry Winston, Louis Vuitton, etc. and bought a small magnet in the Raffles store. The lobby is majestic and the hotel has lots of history. We are on our way to Penang in Malaysia.
