Busy in Singapore

We have made the most of our stay in Singapore. I have walked so much in the last two days I should be 30 pounds lighter. We met a girl from England named Alex and us 3 walked the entire city. We went to China Town, Little India and saw some temples, went to Raffles Hotel and had a Singapore Sling, saw the Fountain of Wealth and hopefully got lucky for money, Orchard Road to see the shopping, and then headed to the Singapore Zoo for the Night Safari. Busy, busy, busy! The Night Safari was really cool. It's the first of it's kind. We walked some paths and saw animals from Asia and Africa in their natural habits during hunting time. We walked through bat cages and flying squirrel cages. It was cool and scary walking through the paths inthe dark...All of a sudden a roar would echo and that was freaky. After walking we got on a tram that took us through the different regions and saw some other animals. After that was an Animals in the Night show that was pretty entertaining. It was a very long day and we were exhausted. Thank God I slept well in the busy hostel.

This morning Tanya had a minor health issue and we got to see the Raffles Hospital in Singapore. Don't worry, nothing serious, she's OK! It was very efficient and we got outta there in no time at all. Then we took off to an island on the southern tip called, Santosa. It's like an adult/child playground there. We took a cable care over the ocean to the island. It was very high, so don't go if you're afraid of heights. We went to the Underwater Adventure, which is like a domed aquarium with sharks and such swimming all around you. Then, we chilled on the beautiful beach and waited for the pink dolphin show. It was very cool to chill there for the day. After that, we went to Little India and got some delicious curry for dinner. We had to eat with our hands...very exciting!

Singapore is a very great and alive city. It's very clean and it's so easy to get around. You can walk most of the city and the MRT (subway) is very efficient. Most people here speak English. It's very strange that even in the hospital, every one speaks English...even to other Singaporeans!

We are hoping to head to Malaysia tomorrow. Not really sure what we are doing yet. We are taking the bus across the border and figuring it out from there. I'll keep you updated!
