August

August has flown by and I have been in Singapore nearly two months. It feels like a lot longer. We have both been very busy in the last couple of weeks - Tim trying to deal with the effects of extremely volatile financial markets and me trying to pass my teaching course. I passed the final hurdle yesterday so I can relax now, and maybe have a little down-time.

We've tried to get out and about during the weekends and here are a few photos of Chinatown/Tanjong Pagar taken last Sunday. The old buildings (called shophouses) are lovely and a real contrast to the modern high-rises of the last few decades.



We also visited another temple in Chinatown, much larger than the ones we saw a couple of weeks ago. The golden Budha was spectacular.
