Singapore!

On our way to Indonesia we had a 15 hour layover in Singapore. Normally that might be a hassle but we were super excited to have a night out in Singapore and lucky to have a friend waiting to show us around!

We arrived in Singapore at about 6:00pm on Thursday, March 17^th. Our friend Daphne was waiting for us at the train station and had set up some plans for dinner and was ready to show us around the city.

Singapore, we quickly realized was a pretty cool city with amazing architecture! Here are some pictures of the city…

Daphne had set up a “set meal” at a local market so we could try a bunch of the local foods. The first part of the mail included meat on a stick in some sort of delicious chili sauce, mutton soup, chili crab (something famous from Singapore), chicken and sugar cane drink. We also got dessert which was some interesting soup thing (still not sure of what was in it) and a sweet red bean, jelly thing. Since the set meal was for two but there were four of us, we also ordered stingray.

Here are the four of us (Daphne, her co-work Tok, Christian and Colleen).

The stingray was pretty good…

Mmm…sting ray

After dinner, we strolled around the lake and checked everything out. There is a building we could see that had really interesting architecture. Christian quickly decided it was one of his favorites and took a million pictures.

Here is the building...

And with us…

Cool building for the art science museum…

After exploring for a bit, we had a drink and listened to some live music. That night, Tok let Christian and I stay at his family’s home so we were well rested and ready for the next leg of our trip!
