Puttering around in Singapore

As I mentioned in previous post, this is probably my first (and last) unchaperoned time in Singapore. Each previous trip, I've been taken around by someone local (which is great, dun get me wrong) and seen part of their lives as demonstrated by where they chose to take me.

This time, I decided to let the MRT take me places.

I went to Geylang where Singapore's unofficial red light district is. Actually, it's a pretty nice, historic looking red light district. Didn't take many pix because I didn't want working girls hurling high heels in my direction. There IS some nice neon out there though.

After that, I chose to do a 180 and head out to Clarke Quay. It's one of the entertainment districts along the river. There's some neat looking restaurants and bars and coffee places. Also a Hooters. And all along the riverfront.

There's a river taxi too. But not running at the late hour I was there at tonight. See?

On the other end of the quay is appropriately, the new and old houses of the Singapore Parliment. Can you guess which one is which?
