A two part day

Part one of today started about 2:30 am Singapore time. The jet lag had both of us fast asleep by 6:30 pm, so naturally about 8 hours later, we both were wide awake. We decided that the best thing to do would be go for a swim and sit in the hot tub for a while. The pool is on the roof of our building and has a pretty nice view at that time of night.



The "hotel" is actually in what they call a full service apartment building. Because Kate will be here for a few weeks or more, she wanted a place with a kitchen and laundry. The full service apartments have all that, plus maid service. Pretty neat. So for our stay in Singapore, home base is a two-bedroom furnished apartment. It's much better than staying in a hotel if you ask me. When you wake up a 2:30 in the morning, you can have a snack from the fridge after your trip to the rooftop pool!

We ended up back asleep around 4:30, then back up at around 8:30 to start part 2 of Sunday. We decided to take a bus around the city so I could get my bearings and see the different areas. After the bus tour, we stopped off at Suntec City to have some lunch. I am still blown away by the hawker stands. Check out the big pile of food on my plate...


Braised duck, fried rice, tofu, peanuts and soup. All for about $2.50 U.S.! I think I will be hitting these places quite a bit.

Suntec city is also the home to the largest fountain in the world. Look! Here we are at the largest fountain in the world!


I think that was about enough excitement for today.
