Better today. Went to the Padang area and realised how important water seems to be for making a favourable impression of a city. I'm still struggling with the extreme climate change, but was abl;e to enjoy a deliciously heavy downpour this afternoon, and a lovely warmish evening to stroll around the city to enjoy it at night. I spent absolutely hours in the Asian Civilisations Museum, which was amazing, before heading to the famous Raffles Hotel to try their signature Singapore Sling. I'd been out with some guys last night (to the zoo's night safari, pretty cool) who were turned away from the bar far not being smart enough (plus they had Mancunian accents! ooh i'm bad!), so i spent a fair bit of time walking around and psyching myself up before strolling in with my poshest accent, an air of owning the place and some garish sunburned shoulders, cheap flipflops and a drowned rat appearance (the storm). Miraculously I had no trouble. So i spent the best part of 2 hours just sitting at the courtyard bar sipping cocktails whilst i read my book and watched the rain clear and the day turn to night. Very nice.
