After a DELICIOUS breakfast at the Continental, we hopped on our morning bus tour with our guide Rocky. He drove us around Chinatown and down to the iconic Merlion, which is the symbol of Singapore (half lion, half fish). The top photo is Singapore from across the water, and the spiky domed building is the city's answer to the Sydney opera house. Dad, you'll appreciate this-- Rocky had seen the Eagles in concert there, and said "they were beginning to look more like bald eagles, though."On our way back to the bus, a man with a snake offered to let us take photos with his pet python. It must have been the jet lag, but I actually said yes. The group took a few photos, and some tourists we didn't even know jumped in and took pictures, too. (Random stranger photo tally: 2.)
Oh my gosh, I canNOT believe you are holding that snake. Wow! Also, the hotel looks GORGEOUS!!!

ReplyDeleteAAAhhh! hahaha oh wow, very Britney (plus a turban)!
ReplyDeleteSo far I am impressed with the trip, and in particular that you have picked up yet another marketable job skill--snake handling. I hear it pays well but people find it a bit constricting.....
ReplyDeleteyou are right on the fishhead dish--my rule of thumb is not to eat anything that is looking back at me.
keep the updates coming.

Never mind the python - where'd you get the hat?
