Singapore: Chinatown, Arab Quarter, Clarke Quay

We got off the overnight train, dropped our bags in the hostel, and hit the town. We all immediately noticed how different Singapore is from KL. It's a beautiful city - spotlessly clean, colorful, with interesting architecture everywhere.


Incense and flower stands outside the temples in Chinatown

Rub for good luck!



After lunch in the Arab quarter (shawarma!) we visited the National Museum, which is the best museum we've seen so far. It had a great headset system that talked you through the history of Singapore, and several galleries devoted to modern living.
We had dinner riverside with 2 friends from Duke


And a drink afterward
