the tiger

So apparently, that growl we heard in the jungle, was pretty much most likely a tiger. I talked to one of the guides on the bus back to Jerantut (so we could catch the night train to Singapore), and he said yeah that was prob a tiger. He said he was walking with two people one day and there were two tigers-one on either side of them. There's apparently not much you can do but wittle a stick into a sharp point and remain calm.

Well hah thankfully, I am still alive.

In other news, Singapore is a really cool city. It's so clean probably because chewing gum is not allowed, you can't spit in public, and the MRT (subway) has a sign that says it is $500 Singapore dollars for eating or drinking on the subway, and $1000 fine for smoking (it's 1.70 Singapore dollars to the US Dollar). Raffles Hotel is this classic, old hotel, that has such a Marilyn Monroe-esque glamourous feel to it. And Orchard Street area is lined with malls-I think Singapore and Bangkok have more malls in one place then I have seen anywhere else. There's also some really good Muslim-Middle Eastern food here.

Tomorrow, I have to catch a bus to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia so I can fly out in the a.m. the next morning to Malaysian Borneo. Until Later, Brittany
