Singapore Week 1 and 2 Observations

So we've been here a couple of weeks now, and while we've been out quite a lot we've not really done much sightseeing (mostly because it appears to rain at the weekends when we actually have time to go out together - oh the hardships!) we have however made several general observations while out and about:

Firstly there appears to be a strange obsession with tennis, when we were looking at apartments last weekend the courts were one of the first things we were shown. Also we can hear them playing at 7am on a Saturday / Sunday morning.

Secondly Phone-monging, don't know whether this is a city thing in general or Singapore specific. Not only is EVERYONE on the tube using their mobiles/tablets but the majority of people literally walk around with their devices 6 inches from their face ALL the time, which means walking along at a snails pace and directly into other people, I am hoping to see someone walk into a window or something soon. Personally I couldn't manage it, I would fall over uneven pavements, twigs, leaves, other people and/or my own feet.

In other news we move into our new apartment on Wednesday, which we're both looking forward to as it means we can unpack and also our stuff should arrive soon. We are now missing our possessions. Photos will follow eventually.

  1. Definitely excited to see your new home. You get to do all the mental (in your head, not insane) child planning of where things will go too x
