Arab Street

Yesterday, Natalie and I ventured out into the big city by car. It doesn't seem like a big deal but, driving on the wrong (left) side of the road in a city of 4 million people crammed onto a tiny island can make your head spin or in Natilie's case - hurt. After we dropped Ashton off at the Canadian school we simply wanted to drive the 6 miles to Arab Street. Nothing simple about it - not even with the GPS telling us clearly to "keep left at Bukit Timah Road". One hour and several U-turns later, we were finally in Fabric and Rug Heaven.

Street lined shops. I purchased the cotton sateen fabrics at Royal Fabrics - on the right.

There are hundreds of thousands - maybe millions - of scarves to choose from.


You can choose a little bottle and have it filled with the essential oil of your choice.

Natalie and I shared this appetizer sampler at a Greek Cafe. Everything was delicious!!

Our waiter - luring in the patrons with his good looks.

Sultan Mosque is the main Islamic place of worship for Singapore's Muslim community.

Joyce - Sounds like you are having a true adventure filled trip. I can just see your eyes light up while looking at all that fabric. I have experienced that a little at Harwin with you.
