Welcome to Singapore!

We left Austin Thursday, Sept 15 at 7AM and arrived in Singapore Saturday at 1AM - Singapore time. We've been having a great time enjoying Singapore's favorite past time - eating, eating and more eating while catching up with friends and family!

Singapore is a city and country all in one, and while the ubiquitous high rises abound due to the exhorbitant land prices, I was pleasantly surprised to see sooo much green space and gorgoeous huge trees - very calming and refreshing!! :)

On Sunday AM we went to Denny's old church where he used to lead the singing and we went out for lunch with Denny's dear friends, Jerry, Cheryl, and family and David Ho and enjoyed a sumptuous lunch of Chili Crab, crunchy squid (mm ... mmm good) and an amazing BBQ red snapper, etc We then proceeded to the infamous Raffles Hotel for a non-alcoholic version of the famous "Singapore Sling" (even better was the amazing munchies of slightly spicy crunchy chickpeas and craisins combo! M..mmm.. good! :) Raffles is an old British Hotel (Founded in 1828) recently restored to its colonial splendour - huge white columns and porches with gorgeous greenery. Care to book a room for $1000 US/night?

We will be here for 1 week and leave for China on Sunday AM... more updates with reviews of top places to visit in Singapore! :) Stay tuned! :)
