PICTURE: Jen & Glenn In the mouth of the Merlion on Sentosa island, Singapore
Hey,
Well off to another destination we go! We have finished our stint in Singapore and are off to Australia. We have enjoyed Singapore, it is alot like Vancouver. Overcast, but so beautiful when its beautiful. Most people are of chinese decent but most all people speak english, its there second language. It is an island surrounded by ocean but not white sand beaches, alot more like vancouver.
The first day we went on a tour to there (vancouver island) Sentosa. We took a cable car over to the island and went to the aquarium. Then we went to there monumental Merlion and went to the view point at the top, 40m high. We then went to the beach side to a new show that they are presenting, called Songs of the sea. It is a laser light show with ocean water, and music. It was very cool to watch.
The next day we went to the Singapore zoo, it is one of the top 3 zoos in the world. We ate breakfast at the zoo and were able to get up close and personal with an orangutang and her baby. It was cool, they have a new open concept where the animals are not in cages but they have built habitats for them with only a mote(like around a castle) in between us and them. It allowed us to get really good pictures since there was no bars inbetween. Today we are going to go shopping for awhile and then our flight leaves from singapore at 9pm and we arrive in Brisbane at 6:40am. We have booked a hostel for 4 days and we will go from there. We love you all very much and hope to talk to you soon.
Lots of love Jen and Glenn
