Two days in Singapore

We were only in Singapore for two days which was just enough time to get a feel for this well functioning city state.  The first day we took a bus to downtown and walked around.  We walked through little India, we went to the Singapore Flyer (the tallest Ferris wheel in the world), and took the tram over to Sentosa Island for the night.  Sentosa is kind of how I would picture Coney island to be, a giant amusement park, beaches, restaurants, and hotels included.  The next day I had a field trip to a pewter store where we got to see how pewter objects are made and got to make our own bowl.  I got back to the mall (forgot to mention that after getting off the ship we went through customs, just like in the US, and the customs spits us out into a mall, convenient isn’t it) and skyped my family and then ate lunch (Japanese dumplings) with a friend before doing some last minute grocery shopping and getting back on the ship. 
About Singapore:
Very Clean, Friendly place.  If you can follow some laws about not littering and acting stupid while drunk then I suggest you visit.  After being in India and seeing the messy streets there, Singapore was a breath of fresh clean air.  And speaking of clean we didn’t have to worry about the water!  It was good for just a two day stop.
