Eating, Shopping, Eating...The Never Ending Cycle

The weather has actually been pretty decent here in Singapore, not being too hot or humid. Perhaps it's because Seattle was just way too hot the last week I was there. But even then, my family and I kept cool by staying indoors with a never ending cycle of eating and shopping (basically two things that Singapore is probably known for :P). I convinced my parents to bring us shopping at a mall called Plaza Singapura just so that I could see the music store that my friend Thad's parents own. So, my family and I rode the MRT to go shopping and eating at Plaza Singapura. We spent the day shopping there and along Orchard Road, which is basically shopping central of Singapore. :) Even though it was a lot of fun shopping and eating, it was a surprisingly tiring day. To make it even more tiring, it took us at least an hour to get back to my aunt's house, transferring three times on the MRT, figuring out the bus system, then climbing a hill to her place. Perhaps tonight I'll actually be going to bed early :P I guess shopping and eating doesn't make for a super interesting post, but hopefully pictures make up for it! :)

The creative way for taking family pictures (minus Sam) on the MRT :P

Time to shop! :D

  1. Great entry! What is the dollar exchange rate at Singapore? And how is the transportation system over there? Everytime I boarded the underground, crammed metro in Paris, I could have sworn I was pressed against the wall! Lol, kudos on the first pic for taking a creative family photo! All of that food is making my mouth water! =P
