Wow what an amazing trip! This was probably one of my top favorite holidays - for both adventure and relaxation! Even the professor finally had a chance to relax, tune out work, and just enjoy. Our first four days we spent in Singapore. Remember, the National University of Singapore has been Brian's employer for the past year. So now that he will be starting his new job with Oxford (soon on 19 April), he had some work, papers, and banking stuff to close down and wrap up. In the meantime, we still were able to check out some touristy things. One day we spent all day at the Singapore Zoo- fantastic - so many unique species to see there.
We even fed the 80 year old tortoise some apples! Another day we checked out Singapore's well known export beer brewery -Tiger beer. We've been on a lot of brewery tours (big surprise) and thought this was one of the best.
Our favourite things to do in Singapore include eating dinner in the Hawker centers (just think State Fair food stalls, but yummy Asian concoctions), wandering the streets of Chinatown, and enjoying ice cream on the bridge at Clark Quay.
They have some odd flavoured ice cream. Including their smelly and disgusting fruit called the Durian, and a Sweet Corn flavour. Yes, I tried them both and they were both awful! (Was hoping the corn was somewhat edible to tell everyone from back home about corn ice cream.) :)
