Singapore!!

So, in addition to our Thailand vacation, we also made a stop in Singapore for a few days... Chris had a friend in Singapore (he's in the military there, but did his training in the states with the US military and that's how they met). Our first day there, we were on our own, so we did a tour through the city and went to a bunch of shopping places that were way out of our price range...

That night our friends (Alvin and Debbie) took us out to dinner along the river. We had SO much food! And we ate all of it! Here we are with our crab...

We walked around the city a little...

And Chris and Alvin decided to try out the "Reverse Bungee"... they tried to talk me into, but there was no way that was going to happen. 1 - I get very motion sick and 2 - I just had a huge dinner.... that's recipe for disaster!!

My hubby has no fear!

We walked through a series of restaurants and shopping areas at night... they had such a fun night-life atmosphere by the river. Overall, Chris and I were very impressed with the country.... it was so clean and while not everyone there is wealthy, they seemed to have relatively no problems with poverty or crime. It was pretty much a big city feel with very few of the problems.

That night, Alvin and Debbie took us to "Chinatown" for peanut soup. Doesn't sound great, but it was really yummy! It was a peanut flavored broth with doughy globs filled with peanuts inside... kind of hard to describe, but they eat this as a dessert there...

The next morning, we went to a curry restaurant for omlette-type dishes with curry and meat (to dip them in) and delicious chocolatey drinks. (We did a lot of eating!!)

Alvin and Debbie also took us to their apartment to meet their sweet little girls... here's a picture of me with their oldest daughter, Desiree.

And of course we did more shopping... Chris looks like a kid on Christmas morning here as we shopped through 4+ stories of electronic stores.
