After dumping our luggage in the room, we set out to have lunch and see some of the downtown area. We ate at a yummy Chinese restaurant in one of the myriad number of malls and walked around window shopping. After a short walk, we decided to take the Hop-On bus around the city and just a get a feel for what we would want to go back and see.
By the time we got back to the hotel, half of our group decided to take a nap, while Brian, Lindsey, and I set out for a "short" walk to find a Fish Spa. Four kilometers later, in the melting heat, we were unsuccessful in our hunt and found ourselves pouring into a cab back to the hotel. We ate a quick bite to eat at what Lindsey called a "Singapore Denny's" (not very appetizing) and went to sleep in Asia for the first time.
The next day we all went to the Bontanic Gardens. There were so many beautiful orchids and plants. We took a ton of pictures of the flowers, but we also took some great pictures of the fam.

We walked around a bit, but headed back to the hotel in time for Brian and Chris to get a haircut before we checked out. Yes, the boys were lucky enough to get haircut from their mom all the way in Singapore. While the boys were busy, Lindsey and I finally found the Fish Spa and treated ourselves to a massage and fishy exfoliant. In Singapore there are fish spas that have fish tanks full of fish that you put your legs and feet into. The fish swarm to your legs and eat the dead skin cells, serving as a type of exfoliant. It sounds really weird, but it was a fun experience.
We loved Singapore and are happy that we get to go back after we leave India. Stay tuned for Singapore (Part 2).
Love,
Brian, Erica, Chris, Lindsey, Noelle, Mark, and Carmen
