p.s. No need to reply to this, but some of us got here late last
night; any recommendations about where to explore today?

Here’s my short answer.  Hopefully others can chime in via comments.

Shopping: Try the north part of Orchard Road (Tangs, Takashimaya).  The new ION Orchard Mall is less than a month old.
History: try the National Museum at the base of Fort Canning.
Walking: try Chinatown or Little India.  Avoid afternoon sun if possible.
Tech: Try Sim Lim Square.
Nature: Try the Southern Ridges (see blog post: http://www.colips.org/blog/acl-ijcnlp-2009/index.php/175/)

Nightlife: Head towards Clarke Quay / Boat Quay.  For clubbing try Mohamed Sultan
Eating: everywhere Singapore, but also East Coast Seafood Centre.

Uniquely Singapore (brought to you by the Singapore Tourism Board) has a lot of information for walking tours, etc. too.

Thanks a bunch!  I’ll forward that to the other 5 ACLers on my plane.
