Day 3 part 2

It already has been a very busy day for me...time to go change and have a beer somewhere.  I go to a nearby hostel bar Prince of Wales where my new chiro friend and wife took me yesterday.  There is a (very cute, young, blonde) english bartender and no one else in the bar. :-D  What a lucky gal I am!  I chat with him on and off until an asian looking guy comes in.  Enter the Aussie Filipino.  I start talking with him and learn that he is from the Phillipines but lived in Australia for quite some time; he definitely talks like an Aussie (and is bunking with the English bartender at a hostel).  I'm in accent heaven...english and australian!  The awesome thing is that at a hostel bar you run into all sorts of people who are traveling so it's really easy to chat with anyone.  My night consisted of conversation with a table of English men here for their job for a year, a Filipino lady and her Scottish boyfriend, a black American from NYC and many more. 

My first drink bought for me in Singapore (and my local cell phone) called Jam Jar; basically just rum, pineapple juice, and grenadine.

After a few drinks, my new Aussie friend took me to an area by the water called Boat Quay (pronounced Kee).  There are a ton of seafood restaurants and bars along the water in this area:

You can pick from these GIGANTIC crabs and lobsters....

I tried to take nightime pictures of all the pretty buildings and lights at night but I am NOT a professional and most of them didn't turn out.  Here's a kinda okay one:

Next we walked around an area called Clarke Quay where there are lots of bars and nightclubs in another area by the water:

You are never too far from home with the local Hooters:

After my mini-tour of Singapore's hot spots, the Aussie and I go back and hang out with the rest of our newfound friends for the evening at the Prince of Wales.  Eventually around 4am, we end up at the Marriott Hotel at an after party, which is basically just a dance party at the hotel's bar/nightclub.  On the dance floor, the cops/security people (not sure of their technical term) watch over the dance floor, while at the same time serving drinks to patrons on the couches surrounding the dance floor.  Double duty I suppose.  I end up back at the hotel sometime around 6am.  I would say my first night out in Singapore was a success! :)
