Singapore Visit

We arrived Friday afternoon. We spent most of Friday riding the subways and doing a bit of shopping. I passed through Singapore on a couple of business trips but Amy had never been to Singapore before. She was struck by how clean the city was vs. Manila. We do enjoy the Philippines but it is a bit dirty.

Singapore has a wonderful Zoo and Night Safari. Satuday morning we hit the Singapore Zoo. It did not disappoint. If you like Zoos, be sure to visit the Singapore if you get a chance.

If you remember from our Beijing Blog update, we mentioned we ran into one of Maria's Brent classmates in Beijing. Asia is truly a small place - or at least all of the expats hit the same vacation spots. We ran into one of Maria's Brent classmates at the Zoo about halfway through the day. the kids ended up having a great time walking around the zoo that day. We left at about 3 pm so we could rest up for the Night safari. We hit the night safari at 7:30 pm until around 11:00 - before all the kids as well as Amy and I ran out of gas. On the Night safari you can a tram as well as walk through the park. The animals are used to the visitors so a number of them will walk right up to the tram as you pass by.

Night Safari and the Zoo was awesome!!!
