Sheila,
Tanis and I ventured to Little India in the east part of Singapore
this morning. As it is Saturday it was fairly busy, but nothing
compared to tomorrow, according to Sheila, as Sunday is when all the
Indian construction workers are off work. Then it gets really
crowded.
Tons of
gold shops, many run by Chinese. I found a pair of earrings I liked,
but price wasn't acceptable (gold price is really high) and we
couldn't reach a deal. Tanis and I did get some nice blouses for
S$6, which works out to about US$4.80. We walked quite a distance,
looking at things, including suits for Sheila, who is going to India
in February, but didn't buy any more than some dal and spices.
We had
lunch at a South Indian restaurant, dosa and sambal and a bunch of
stuff I didn't recognize. Tasty and not too hot; Tanis is rather
fearless for a self-confessed wimp tongue, and didn't burn her mouth
much.
Taxi
back to NUS, then we went swimming at the college pool, very cool and
relaxing.
Had a
lovely Thai dinner in Singapore tonight, hot, but not too hot. Like
I said before, Tanis is more adventurous that she give herself credit
for.
