HK : Side Trip : Singapore

Took a side trip to Singapore for a few days.  Gung Gung came with us too.  We stayed at the IBIS in Bencoolen and it was a nice hotel.  Their buffet breakfast was pretty good.  The food was good, but mostly, it was just too hot to really appreciate it.  We were boiling everywhere we went.  I did not even know if could get that hot.  But Singapore is close to the equator, right?

This is the Sri Krishnan Temple, and it was right around the corner from our hotel.

Very colorful and lots of animals...

We were eating a pretty early dinner, so that's why the place is empty.  
Went to Tiong Bahru, per Anthony Bourdain, but eh, hawker food was
was just okay.  Or maybe it was too hot to enjoy.

Eating some crazy colored dessert.  It was okay and was melted in seconds...

Chili crab, anyone?  It was good.  The black pepper crab was crazy
hot, not as good.  Okay, I actually didn't have any.  I fell asleep
during dinner.

Mom had to carry me home.

Was all good in the morning and enjoying my buffet breakfast!

Getting a henna tattoo

I got a butterfly design and Cameron got a dragon.  It lasts
up to two weeks.

Ready for the night safari

Of course, Duffie goes everywhere with me.

Hmmm...these animals aren't in cages and neither are we....ummm...

Riding a segway.  I am too young to steer on my own.

It's pretty cool!

Time for some speed.  Family Luge Team.

Ski lift in 90+degree weather?  Wild.  

Dad let me steer and we went fast fast fast!

Eating at the hotel.  It was actually pretty good and we got to try
