Time to explore

     I am having a lot of fun.  We went exploring for most of the week and saw the Merlion fountain.  It is statue that represents the history of Singapore.  The Indian prince who discovered Singapore that he saw a lion when he came here but it was actually a tiger.  The fish tail is for the ocean.

     Another day we went to the fish spa and put our feet in the tanks.  It really tickled!  The fish are from Turkey. 

 

     Here are my feet getting eaten by the fish.  They are eating off the dead skin.

     After the fish spa we went to Chinatown and got henna tattoos.  Mason got a dragon and I got a rose.  At first it looks like this picture.  Then it dries and you flake off all the brown stuff and it leaves a stain on your skin.  It will last 2 weeks.

     Yesterday we got our school uniforms.  These are our regular uniforms.  We are wearing our backpacks and floppy hats.  We have PE uniforms and swimsuits as well.  We are the Stamford Lions.  Roar!

    These are our Chinese New Year outfits that we will wear to school for the celebration.  There used to be a long braid on Mason's hat but he did not like it.

      The funny thing here is that almost everything is opposite.  They drive their cars on the other side of the road.  The driver sits on the left side instead of the right.  To spend $100 Singapore dollars is not very much compared to spending $100 US dollars.  You barely use knives and forks.  Here you use chopsticks and big soup spoons.  And no napkins!  People are shorter than in the US.  Lots of people where nice clothes all the time.  People walk every where and some people wear jeans even though it is very hot.  My hair curls up like crazy!  Today I got a furby.  Yay!

     We move into our apartment this week.  I will post some pictures soon.

     Note:  I made my mom indent for Mrs. Reeder.  :)

     I miss you all a lot!
