Since we had a late flight to Singapore John and I walked around Saigon for an hour and found a couple of interesting buildings to photograph. One is the Opera House and the other is Ho Chi Minh City Hall. Then off to the airport.
Singapore is a city, a country and an island. It is 31 miles wide and 16 miles long and holds 5.5 million people. We are only 85 miles north of the equator.
We landed here late afternoon but by the time we got settled in the hotel it was after 7 pm. Everybody was cranky with hunger so we ended up going our separate ways for dinner. John and I did stop at the Long Bar in the Raffles Hotel where the Singapore Sling was invented. Back in the early 1900's it was unseemly for a woman to be seen drinking spirits so the bartender created this fruity drink with rum to look like just a fruit drink.
