Now that I am more settled in my accommodation than I ever was before, I have set my priorities on finding things to do with my time. My quest for a good dance school continues, as does my attempt to convince the National Cadet Corps to allow me volunteer in some capacity, and my Mandarin Chinese course is set to begin next week. In the meantime...

Today I went to the Singapore Airshow on the easternmost edge of the island. It was okay, but not a patch on the way we do it back home.
Photos were at a minimum because I realised too late that my camera did not have sufficient battery power left after its exploits on Mount Faber two weeks ago. The few photos I did take were, therefore, on my phone camera and show Andrew and Sanu standing in front of poorly-defined grainy things. Most were taken in a hurry, in the short moment before some unsuspecting and overwrought local jumped unawares in front of the camera, so you might forgive us if it looks like we only stopped for cheerful photo opps while running away from the Blair Witch.
The afternoon aerobatics display was adequate, if a little on the short side. Again, the overwrought locals were cheering and clapping wildly. But, having seen what the Red Arrows can do, I can assure you that the Black Eagles display team - provided to Singapore courtesy of South Korea - does not hold a candle to the Red Arrows.
The smattering of photos of this occasion, as well as the considerable quantity of Mount Faber photos, will be provided to you at a surprising moment of my choosing (when I can find the will to go through them). Watch this space.
