Leaving Singapore and going to Vietnam!
First thoughts of Singapore. Singapore has been fun, but also pretty disappointing. The New Years Eve fireworks had no countdown and didn’t feel special because of that. I went to the ice cream museum but there was not a lot written about ice cream and for the cost, (which was $50 per person) was very disappointing. They give you unlimited ice cream but only a few flavours, and didn’t know if there were nuts in anything. The hostel that I stayed in was pretty nice, and was very close to china town! There were also lots of places to eat while walking around. The only thing that is bad about walking around in china town is the durian smell. Apparently durian is delicious, but one of the worst smelling fruit in the world. While I was in Singapore I also went to the gardens by the bay, and it had an Avatar experience! There was a screen where you could turn yourself into an Avatar person and it was so cool (but also hilarious)! Another place that was pretty cool is the science museum! There are a bunch of optical illusions and there was even a scream machine to test how loud you scream! There was also a fire tornado show! The staff poured gas into a tire and lit it on fire. There were air slits in the container facing one way to create the tornado part. In the Singapore airport there was also a huge waterfall in the middle of the airport and a bunch of shopping places! All of the airlines I have been on so far seems like a step up from the Canadian airlines. They have nicer seats, better meals (main, salad, dessert, bread) not just a sandwich and a cookie. The bathrooms also smelled very nice and was very clean.
Here are some pictures
The museum looks like fun, the fire tornado is really cool, great science experiment. Marilyn and Rick
