Sentosa

still need to write about this past week but since i'm a procrastinator that will come later.

today we went to sentosa, which is the little island south of singapore. we can take a tram over there that takes about 5 minutes. me, janet, & marika got this package thing to do 4 of the activities on the island, and everyone else just went and sat on the beach. we did a observation tower that was fun, a museum that goes over the singapore history, went to the top of a giant stone merlion (the symbol of singapore) and this thing called a luge. i dont know if you know what that is but its like these little carts and you pull up on the handle a little to go and pull back a lot to stop and you get to drive down a hill on a track. it was really fun. then after we did that we met up with lauren and ate lunch. after lunch lauren and marika went to do this thing called fish reflexology where little fish basically bite dead skin off your foot. um gross. me and janet decided to find the others at the beach. the first beach we went to was really big and crowded, but we could go across this bridge and go to this tiny little island, so we went. turns out that island was the southern most tip of continental asia! i thought that was cool. well then we decided this beach was too crowded so we went to the next one, also still in seach kind of for others in our group. we went there and it was a lot less crowded because its kind of farther away from the center. so we did find a few people there, but most had left to go to another beach. anyways, janet and i decided to finally get in the water. it felt nice but unfortunatly it was kind of overcast today so not much sun. but the water was still a perfect temperature. the only weird thing is that its the same water about 100 oil tankers and ships were sitting in probably a mile away. not a very scenic view but sentosa is really pretty. i had a strawberry margarita on the beach which was quite tasty i might say. then lauren and marika came and got us and we decided to head back to singapore to eat.

tomorrow is the zoo. its me, marika, and janet for sure, a few others might join along. it should be fun. then i have to come home and write a second paper to turn in monday. luckily dr. choi is letting us do class from 12-3 instead of 9-12 on monday and then at 3 we are all going to go eat at this sushi place on campus.

anyways, that is it for now.
