Off to see the Taj Mahal!

My flight to India leaves in exactly four hours, and I have to call a cab in two, but it's been a few days since the last post so I thought at least I should write something before I leave. Not much to report, no visitors and such, but there was Chinese New Year. I pretty much tried to avoid Chinatown during that time, it's a madhouse, sort of like trying to go to the malls the weekend before Christmas. That and lots of discussion on who you're supposed to give money to (called Hong Bao, or "red packet"), and how not to give 4 dollars, because that's bad luck, and not eight, even though eight is good luck it takes four two's to make an eight so you'd better just give ten, nothing wrong with that. Oh, and there was Valentine's Day, where David and I went out for an over-priced six course set meal, but you get six full sized drinks with each course, and we had to pretty much wobble ourselves out of the place at the end of the night.

Since I've been glued to the TV for the last two weeks watching the Olympics, I don't have any new pictures, so I'll go back and post some general Singapore photos a took a while back. These were taken in Little India and Chinatown respectively. Enjoy, and see you in a week!
