Singapore - day 103

We woke up late, then packed our bags and headed out to Chinatown. We got a bit lost on the way, but eventually we got to where we wanted to be. For lunch we had some delicious springrolls and curry puffs, accompanied by some fresh mango shakes. We walked around Chinatown for a while, looking at all the little shops. Then we walked to a place called Funan Digitalife which is a big shopping mall that's specialized in electronics. We went to the top floor and worked our way down through all the shops to find the one where they sold the cheapest external hard drives. After the shopping we went to a Starbucks to rest our feet for a bit. We were surprised to see that although the place was nearly full, we were the only tourists there. All the other people in that Starbucks were business men in suits having important conversations and typing away on their laptops... We walked around to find a toilet somewhere and ended up in another shopping mall. Nat finally found a Swatch shop and managed to get her watch fixed after more than 2 months of useless attempts to get the battery changed! We took the metro back to our B&B and then tried to copy the pictures onto the external harddrive and USB sticks... unfortunately the computer was full of virusses, meaning that every one of our memory cards got infected... We also found out that one of the cameras is missing. Luckily it's the broken one, but it did have a memory chip in it with our Japan pictures... it's still a big mystery how that camera could have disappeared! Around 20h we took a taxi to the airport. We checked-in and had some sushi for dinner. At 23h we were on the plane flying back home. We flew over Kuala Lumpur and had an amazing view over the city by night. The Petronas towers were incredibly bright, making it a pretty awesome sight. The flight to London took about 13,5 hours, which we spent half sleeping half watching movies.

Weather: warm and cloudy
