Singapore















So here I am about to leave Singapore, off to Aus. It was a smashing time, this will always be a country I’ll enjoy being in but unfortunately as it turns out the rain season is very rainy and my time here was plagued by precipitation. Making it very difficult on the photography front. I wanted to capture more of the local culture, life and charm but the rain saw to the end of that plan.
I’m not complaining though because at least its warm rain, which is a HUGE step up from where I just was, and everyone kept a smile on their face and a cheery attitude no matter where you went. Such beautiful people here with such a positive outlook on life. Even just talking with the taxi drivers would end up in some profound life happiness monologue, I wish I recorded some of them to share with you all. And having the down time being spent as VIP at the Shangri-La on Sentosa Island, thanks to an old friend of the family, made it very difficult to be upset about anything in life.
The rain did stop long enough to jump on a bum-boat and snag some scenic shots to throw up here, the light was far from ideal but I thought I’d share them with you anyways with a couple others I took between the showers.
All in all it was a fantastic time, spent a couple evenings with some absolute legends hearing stories of old over a few wines and beers and some gorgeous foods. I did hit up the local cable and even through all the rain had a ball of a time riding there! Everyone there is super friendly, a very international group of shredders, right on the beach in a state park. Has an amazing atmosphere there.
And somehow through all the cloud cover I managed to become sun-burnt, oh this English skin.

Off to Aus now!
