ROOM B52 (PLAZA PARKROYAL)

Riding through Singapore on the shuttlebus I am softened slightly towards the local administration. The few remaining buildings of 'Old Singapore' are horrendously slummy - they've done a great job cleaning it up.

Now...just waiting for Jo's cousin Su-Kee (pronounced Sookie - to rhyme with Wookie) to pick us up for dinner.

Our hotel room number is B52, whoops, I meant 352.
