Lunch in Chinatown and a down pour!

The final day with Terry was spent relaxing and wandering through Chinatown.  We had both been here before, but I'm not sure how much Terry remembered from his first visit on day 1 when he was in a jet lag fog.  We weren't really touring today, just a day to find some souvenirs for him to take home and to relax.

After lunch in the Maxwell Hawker Centre, we wandered back to the MRT station to head home.  On our way we decided to stop for one more beer (that won't be a surprise to those who know Terry!) - turns out it was an excellent plan. 

Not 5 minutes after sitting down the skies opened and the rain started.  It never really rains for long in Singapore - just a short down pour!

The couple that were sitting at the table beside us (on ground level) were in about an inch of water when the rain finally stopped!  When I first arrived in Singapore I thought that the rain would make it more humid (if that's possible), but it actually does cool things down at least for a few minutes.

It's now March 19th and Terry's home safe and sound and after a week still hasn't adjusted to the jet lag! I'm looking forward to spending the coming weekend relaxing (as I worked most of last weekend) and doing some exploring - may have to find my way to Orchard - the major shopping area in Singapore!  Stay tuned!
