I arrived yesterday from a wet and cold Auckland winter to a wall of heat and humidity in Singapore, the temperature here is something like 30 C with energy sapping humidity.
Singapore is spectacular. My first impression is of a super lush park from which incredible buildings seem to sprout.
I've started to meet a steady stream of sketchers that I've only known online. It was awesome to finally meet Liz, Marc and Kumi, some of my earliest online sketcher friends.

Little India shop houses! |
I'm staying in a funky little hotel in Little India apparently styled in the Peranakan style and it's close to some pretty interesting sketch subjects!

Sri Srinivasa Perumal temple, Little India |
I'll be posting again over the next couple of days as I attempt to support Parka and Maria Regina over the symposium.
