September 9

Syd and I explored Orchard Road, a main shopping street. We went in some stores and some five star hotels. The most famous hotel here, Raffles, is known for their Singapore Sling, which we drank while throwing peanut shells on the floor at the bar (like at Logans Steakhouse). We also sampled about a million mooncakes, some Chinese celebration features them this time of year, whenever we passed any of the many mooncake sellers. I'm writing this while sitting at the computer in the hostel and the music is blarring and I'm having trouble remembering if we did anything else. However, I am really enjoying the music, all the shops here play Top 40s music that I love, so its okay.
