Yesterday we went to a couple of parks. One pathway we went up had the most unique walk way I've seen. It's hard to describe but it was really really cool! Another one was quite different, too and it was a long walk way above the trees. VERY cool.
Our friend Mike showed us these places. There's no way we would have seen them or come across them on our own. Really lucky to have met up with him again! (We met him in China)
Last night we went down to Clark Quay and Harbour Front. ABSOLUTELY stunning and incredibly impressive. Singapore is so wealthy! We ate dinner at a bus stop before we went there to walk around (to save money!) and just walking around and seeing everything was amazing! It is possible to go to Singapore and not spend too much money! Who would've thought?
Sadly, when we were going for our hike/walk in the parks it started POURING rain and I had the camera in my pocket.... only for 2 minutes but it was enough for me and the camera to be soaked.
Meaning: I got NO pictures of the park or the amazing city last night. SO SAD. BUT... I'm glad we decided to hold off on attempting to use the camera. It payed off and now the camera is completely dry and working again! Yay for patience!
There is this absolute stunner of modern architecture that we went and saw. It's three really tall, really awesome looking buildings with a big building going across the top that looks like a boat... it's hard to explain, but you can see a picture of it here:

We went all the way up to the 57th floor (at RAPID speed! My ears popped!) and an amazing view of the city below. It was quite romantical.
We also went into a brand new casino. Singaporians have to pay a whopping 100 dollars to go in (the government is trying to discourage them from gambling) but for tourists, it's free!
That was fun, too!
We weren't really thinking and time got away from us. Next thing we knew it was 1 am and we were still at harbor front. Public transit stops running at midnight here! There were taxis galore but they cost an absolute fortune in Singapore so we decided to walk allll the way to little india *QUITE far.
By the time we got home we were completely exhausted. In fact, we took a pit stop at 2 24hour food courts (they're everywhere here!) and had some roti and steamed pork buns to regain our strength!
Tonight we will go out with Mike and his fiancee to dinner in the harbour (we didn't end up going out last night) and it promises to be another spectacular Singapore evening!
