Chinese food in China Town
We do love to travel! Any extra money we have, we spend on airplane tickets, rental cars, hotels and anything else concerning travelling. We virtually own nothing at the moment, which we also love. Oh, I almost forgot, we do own an old Honda, which my grandparents have been kind enough to keep for us while we gallivant around the world.
Last week, we were in Singapore and Cambodia. Both are the most amazing adventures we’ve ever experienced. In Singapore, we love just how diverse the place is: Chinese, Arabs, Malaysians, and Indians. The Western communities live peacefully among each other. It helps that Singapore is a thriving city, a wealthy city, which helps with keeping its people happy.
We stayed with some friends from our college day and while we were there, we got to experience the actual Singapore with longtime Singaporeans. Although, we did do the touristy thing too, like visiting the temples, eating at one of the best Chinese restaurants in Chinatown and we visited museums. One of the best museums is the Asian Civilization Museum. It’s to date, the best I’ve experienced. Oh and yes, we did the ultimate touristy thing by doing the Night Safari at the Singapore Zoo. It was great and it’s one of the best zoos I’ve visited.
After a few days of drinking and eating way too much, we thought we’d better get some exercise. Luckily, my college friend knows all the perfect hiking spots in Singapore. She took me to the MacRitchie National Park. What a great hike. It was really beautiful, tropical and it has its own rain forest. We could hear the wild animals all around us, and we were only moments away from the city center!
It was a shame to be leaving Singapore and leaving our old college friends, but leave we must, and on to Cambodia. That trip should be the most interesting, since we don’t know a sole and we don’t speak the language. Wish us well.
