Singapore Bit

After a long flight we arrived in Singapore. We went on the underground train a lot to get around. We stayed at the YMCA which had small rooms, but it had a great swimming pool and we loved the breakfasts because there was cake and fruit juice and you could eat as much as you liked.

We visited China town, which Tom especially liked because of all the bustle and cool market stalls to look at. A little Chinese lady got us to go to her food stall and we had noodles and fried rice which was delicious. Some of food on offer we did not recognise and I was pretty relived we did not have to eat it. Everyone was tyring to sell us stuff, but they were nice and we had a good laugh. We bought a set of chopsticks each from a special shop - I have never seen so many chopsticks in my life. The pair I chose was Black with golden dragons on.

We also went to Little India. There was lots of interesting things to see and lots of strange smells. We had a cool curry dinner - I had butter chicken. We all got henna tattoos on our hands from a cool Indian lady. Tom and mine are a sun design, Ellen's is flowers, and they should last 2 or three weeks.

The second day we visited Singapore zoo. We saw loads of different animals such snakes monkeys, white tigers, leopards and kangaroos. One funny bits was seeing two elephants walking, with one holing onto the others tail. We all went on an elephant ride which was really exciting. We saw an orangutan holding a baby riding in a zoo truck, and we think the zoo keeper did not know she was on there.
