We again were very lazy in getting going. Just enjoying each other.
Finally got dressed and decided to see what was going on in the shopping area of Orchard Street. This is a shopping mecca for sure. All decorated for the New Years Celebration. Ashley said it comes alive at night and is much busier. Some many designer shops, but no one ever in them. Of course, thousands of eating places too.
This is the Marriott right in the center of everything.
The design of the building is so unique.

We then traveled by train to another area Kampong Glam. This is a Muslin shopping district where you can buy rugs, muslin clothing and many different types of souvenirs. There is also a Muslin worship temple that is just beautiful.
The main street of this area
The Masjid Sultan Mosque
Had to stop and get a Tutti Fruitti yogurt. Make your own, it was yummy and we were tired of walking
The shop houses are so elegant the way they are painted. The homes on the second floor and the businesses on the bottom. No to buildings are the same.

We were tired and decided to take a taxi home. PX was going to cook supper but was called to a meeting so we crashed. Just had a fried egg sandwich and watched a movie. Ashley did more wash and then we went to bed. Another day of the old folks in Singapore.
