This morning was unusually cool for Singapore, so I decided to check out the Singapore Botanic Gardens and the National Orchid Garden. The way the garden is set up, it is really easy to forget you are in the middle of a bustling city.
There is no admission fee to the Botanic Garden, and with it being situated in the middle of the city, it is a popular place for people to walk, jog, stroll with their animals or do tai chi. Actually, you see people doing tai chi all over the place, but there were more than usual in the gardens this morning.
The Orchid Garden is within the Botanic Garden and there is an entrance fee, but it is well worth the $5 sg admission price. I am not one to ooh and ahh over flowers too much, but the variety of orchids here is pretty amazing. I'll put one picture here as an example, click here if you want to see the rest.
You can read more about the Singapore Botanic Gardens here.
After lunch I went to the Changi Prison Museum. This museum commemorates the Allied POW's who were captured and imprisoned by Japanese forces during WWII. There was no photography allowed in the museum, but you can find more information here.
Oh, I almost forgot... Here is what Kate did today:
If you really wanted to capture what I did today there should have been a phone to my ear. I was on teleconferences for the better part of the day.
