They took their first trip on the MRT, to Chinatown.
We got off at Pagoda Street and saw the shops.
We saw the Hindu, Thian Hock Keng Temple.
We toured the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple
I took them to the Hawker but it was crazy busy lunch hour
so we ate at a Japanese place on Smith Street, instead.
Later, we had drinks with Matthew O'Brian at the Blu Bar at the Shangri La Hotel, which hosted a grand view of Singapore.
Finally, dinner at Clark Quay, at a Moroccan Restaurant.

Lunch at Chjimes (we ate in an Aussie BBQ joint), joined by my friend (and tennis partner) Tai.
Raffles Hotel- We got a Singapore Sling at the Longbar and then toured the hotel grounds.
High Tea at the Ritz Carleton, where we also toured the hotel's modern/contemporary art collection (they have the largest collection of modern/contemporary art in S.E. Asia, quite amazing, actually!), very impressive array of Chihuly, Frank Stellas, and even a Warhol! Mansita, my good friend and writing classmate, joined us for tea!
Day Six:
Monday is my long day at school. I'm in class from 11am to 10pm practically straight through, so I didn't see much of them. However, they did accompany me to my Film Story Analysis class, where we watched Annie Hall and discussed it afterwards. You'll have to ask them what they did for the rest of their day!
Day Three, Four, and Five were spent in Borneo, I'll put up a separate post for this one!
