Melissa and Chris here,
MAY IS THE BUSIEST MONTH!
Somehow, the month of May came and went in a flash—but not without a few stories to share. We are going to break the following adventures in to a few separate blog installments. Here is what is in store for you!!
Jurong Bird Park
Mother’s Day Botanical Garden
End of Semester
Singapore International Conference
Vesak Day
Anniversary Birthday
US Holiday
First, in order to find some time to explore another side of Singapore we had yet to seen, M & C went to the Jurong Bird Park which is a very close 10 minute taxi ride from home. We spent the day walking around the park (which reminded us of something like SeaWorld for birds) and enjoyed seeing the cranes, eagles, flamingos, and penguins. Melissa even got to feed the Pelicans! We were amazed at how few people there were at the park on such a nice Friday afternoon. We enjoyed a leisurely train-ride around the park, as well as exploring the various exhibits and seeing the exotic wildlife from all over the world. As you can see from the videos and pics—we had a great time interacting with the animals! We even enjoyed an unexpected (yet surprisingly typical for Singapore) torrential downpour on our walk home. All in all, it proved a great break before Chris’ first final exam to give to his students at NTU.
