So I am three days behind on the blog again so entries will be short until I catch up. Tuesday started in disappointing fashion as we had to switch resorts because there wasn't a room available at only one for all four nights we were in Singapore. My plans for the day were upset too when I learned that both the water and amusement parks we had free tickets to were closed on Tuesdays. So I decided to meet Fernando after he picked up his suit in town and we visited the Business District for the first time. While not as impressive as Hong Kong, the area had many big buildings and was very clean and organized. Fernando left to take his suit back to the hotel so I decided to visit the National Museum again and see and exhibit about the history of Singapore. Just my luck, it had closed 15 minutes earlier, so yet again my day was busted. I am learning all over again that planning helps. To kill the nearly 2 hours until we met again I tracked down the National Library and looked up some great books about the history of Singapore. I hope I can find one or two back in the states because I want to learn more about this area now that I have been here. In the evening went to the Night Safari at the zoo which was pretty good, but we missed the Creatures of the Night show which was a bummer. After that we went home and packed for our flight the next morning. Picture 1 = Raffles Hotel, pretty much the only traditional/old/colonial commerical building in Singpore left; Picture 2 = Downtown Skyline; Picture 3 = me petting a snake at the zoo. If I don't look like I'm enjoying it that's because I wasn't.
