Tourist walk


This morning Hong & I were up bright & early & very hungry. Since we don't really know where to eat quite yet Stephen came with us & we went to an E.S.Kimo cafe, which are restaurants that typically have english menus. It was quite tasty, although my meal was somewhat bland tasting, yet still good.

After that we did a quite extensive tour of some of the city. We went to the market right near us, the Lou Lim leoc Garden, Mount Fortress, the Ruins of St. Paul, the heritage center (very touristy, expensive spot where we bought much over priced drinks). I liked the Lou Lim leoc gardens the best. This garden is actually on my walk to school, and is quite a peaceful spot. We stopped at this one pond to look at the fish & this man was trying to tell us what happened to one of the fish that I was pointing out. Not sure how long this little guy is going to last for as his eye was falling right off!

The biggest success of the day for me (aside from the gelato that we bought) was that I finally found a pharmacy that sells ear plugs!! YEAH:) I look forward to a peaceful sleep this evening.
