Sentosa Island Songs of the Sea and Vivo

What can I say about Sentosa Island? It's a "tourist attraction." Here's me along with all the other video cameras. We're sitting on benches looking at toward the beach. There are live performers singing and dancing on the beach. Out across the water a short ways is a mock fishing village up on stilts.



Then we took the train one stop to Vivo City and had a snack.



Vivo City is one of the giant shopping malls with all the expensive international brand names. The food court was cutesy new, but made to look old food stalls. I tried Laksa, a Malay coconut curry with noodles dish.






I learned a little more about taxis. On the top of the cabs it says "For Hire," "On Call," or "Hired." If the queue is long, as it was here, and there aren't many taxis, you can call one. You pay an extra S$2.50 to $4. You get the taxi number. It shows up with "On Call" in the little taxi sign on the roof, and the taxi number flsshing. So when it arrives people know you aren't jumping ahead of them in the line and you know which cab is yours. They dropped me off and went home.
