Singapore



All the information we read about Singapore said we don’t need to spend more that 24 hours in Singapore. So, we spent 32 hours. It was just enough. The first few hours were rough because we took a red eye flight from Seoul and we couldn’t check into our hotel until 2pm. So we were walking around like zombies checking things out. A lot of people speak English in Singapore and there is a heavy Muslim population. After we took a nap we were ready to roll. We took a night safari. IT WAS SO COOL! We saw a little animal show and Jayson was asked on stage to hold a python. It wrapped all around him and the head started going towards his leg. He said he wasn’t scared. Then we took a night safari which went through different animal habitats. There were no fences we saw everything from elephants, giraffes to lions. These animals are nocturnal, so that it why the safari was at night.

By the time we reached our hotel we were a little hungry and wanted to grab a beer, but everything was closed except for the local outside restaurants/cafeterias. We felt like a local. There were many people sitting in the open air restaurant with their coffee or beer watching the soccer game at 11pm. The next day we went to the Sans Marina Bay casino and hotel. Yes, we gambled and yes unfortunately we both lost. But we took many pictures of the building and we actually say we gambled there. That’s about it for Singapore:)
