Super Angie...a few days in Singapore

While in Singapore, we took a taxi, an airport shuttle and the subway. We didn't go too many places, but we enjoyed ourselves.

National day was the following week, so we saw lots of flags out.
The head of the Merlion statue. We never did make it down to Sentosa to see the actual statue, but at least we saw this much of it.
Chinatown streets.
China town.
A temple of some sort.
We found the Hard Rock and enjoyed a nice air conditioned meal!

A nice little tribute.
Looking cute at the Hard Rock Cafe.We found a fun little mall with D&G . Of course I went in. It wasn't as stuffy as the one in Tokyo, but they still didn't like us.
In case you forget where you are, the longitude was written on the sidewalk. Ever so helpful!

We took a taxi to East Coast Beach to the Seafood Centre--although we didn't eat there. But it was nice to be at the beach and walk around.
We loved seeing all the huge freighters in the ocean.
A look towards downtown.The South China Sea.
Rick walking on the beach
Along EAST COAST BEACH there is a water skiing pond. Its funny automatic and the skiiers hold a pully and are pulled around the pond. It was fun to watch. There were even jumps!
Eating street food. I was scared, but Rick was in heaven!
Our dinners.
Sand castle on the beach. Ah, this ocean was soooo warm. Not like the Washington coast! lol
Rick and I sitting watching the sun set.
We went rock climbing at CLIMB ASIA.
They had an ourdoor wall and an indoor.
Some kid stepped on my foot in the subway and my toe hurt quite a bit, so I only climbed one route, but Rick did and had a blast.
Waiting in line and looking happy.
A giant Geisha doll...too bad she didn't fit in my bag!
We took the subway to CITY HALL and found this beautiful church. St. Andrews. It was gorgeous and quite a refreshing sight. I liked this sign outside.
Just a beautiful church.
Rick on the security camera screen at the subway station. yes, I'm a dork to take his picture!
This is a funny pic in the subway. I guess people need the reminder that they should give up their seats to people who need it. They also had a music video to remind people to be polite and let people off the subway first before charging on. But it didn't work. People were SO RUDE on the subway compared to Tokyo.

Super Angie...our hotel in Singapore

We stayed at the Crowne Plaza Changi Airport in Singapore. Oh man! I love this hotel. It just has the feel of a spa or Sauna and everything smells good. If I could decorate my house from scratch, I might go for making it look just like this whole hotel. So relaxing. It had a great spa but we didn't go there. Maybe next time we will indulge in body scrubs and massages. Ah....

Ah, refreshing and beautiful...
Rick sitting on one of the many couches in the lobby and lounge area. So colorful.
Lots of water throughout the hotel grounds.
small fountain
The bathroom by the pool. I love their sinks!
THE POOL!!!!
the pool the pool the pool...I simply loved the pool!
It was so neat how the hallways to the rooms were open. It would have been neat to walked down them during a rainstorm.
Tropical plants. It was interesting being almost right on the equator!
lush and green. Those little water ways actually had glass on the bottom which you could see in the ceilings from the bar area on the second floor.
the spiral staircases outside. Very neat.
The view from our room.
Loved the sink in our room.
I enjoyed the bath as well.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the window/wall into the bathroom.
Our bed.

Staying at this hotel was wonderful and relaxing except they didn't have any cheap internet and we didn't want to pay $30 a day. :( Oh welll...the rest was great!

Heres Dallin playing at the Tokyo airport on our layover home. He was so good to sit by this bench and get out all his animals and play. He also took an walk around the airport and I thought he was lost!
Brennan got this ball/ yo yo in Singapore and LOVED playing with it. Unfortuantly, once we got home, he left it outside for a few hours and when he went back and got it, the yo yo part of it was broken. Dog or neighbor kid?
But he sure does love it!!

Super Angie...more sign language

As always...I love taking pictures of signs in other countries...
Americans have taken over the world. DQ, Orange Julius, Borders and Burger King...all right next to each other (and there was a Starbucks too!)
This was at the subway in Singapore. Don't bring those stinky Durian fruits into the subway. TOO STINKY!
Um...we aren't sure what this sign is for. Is it, "don't pee along the trail" ?
Watch out for falling rocks!
Um...yeah, no running up the trail of Mt. Fuji. GO SLOW! Duh!
Yup...this way go up.
Just incase you didn't know, the summit is UP, not down!
Not sure what the penguins on this sign have to do with climbing Mt. Fuji.
This way to the swan boats!
Don't sell apples at this park!
This is the part of the park where you can get married!

Sure do love finding interesting signs in other countries!
