Getting there is half the fun

Adios Kung

So Kung left tonight. Well actually he's leaving tomorrow bank to Taiwan for a few days, but with his plane ticket he got a free night in a hotel - and definitely beats sleeping on my tile floor!

On Monday night Samson, Kung and I went to the zoo to go on the Night Safari!!! It was definitely the best $25 bucks I have spend in a while. There are tons of trails through jungle with aminals right there beside you. They don't use fences, just small ditches and natural objects, so it feels like you are right there with the animals. There is a cage you can go in with giant bats hanging right beside your head. One even took a lunge at Kung! We also went in a cage with a few flying squirrels and flying foxes jumping and gliding around. The best part of the night was the actual safari part where you get to take a jeep/bus thing through the manicured jungle past tigers, elephants, giraffs, anteaters and lots of other weird things from everywhere from india to malaysia to africa. This thing called a Tapir was running around shreiking looking for its friend and almost ran into the vehicle right beside Samson! I would definitely recommend this for anyone visiting Singapore anytime soon!

Tuesday night Samson and I met Kung in China Town after 'work' and got some dinner at the china town hawker centre. For some reason we were super hungry and ordered a couple of meals each, plus drinks and desert - the food here is just so damn good! I think we were hungry because it hasn't been as hot lately because of all the rain we have been getting; it was only about 26 degrees, so I guess the heat didn't squash our appeteits. Later we went and explored around the Singapore River part of the city, but it's mostly just financial district and super expensive restaurants and hotels...I think I like the outskirts of the city better.
