So, here we are in Chinatown, Singapore..and do you think I can find a laundry anywhere? No chance..after walking in the Singapore heat for 15 minutes, we're pointed to a place that looks like an old army billet...in there is a self service laundrette...We spent an hour watching socks and pants go round in circles. not my idea of fun but it was something that certainly had to be done..! Then we tried to book tickets for the train ride to Kuala Lumpur for friday.....

The flight out of Chennai was uneventful. The taxi ride out was more interesting, Kumal our driver was a nice guy, he occasionally worked in Doha as a driving instructor. Again, he was one of those people totally at peace. He too started talking about the state of corruption in India and said that many people are getting sick of it. I said you need another Mr. Gandhi, he said we've got hundreds of those and that way of getting things done wasn't going to work any...
