Today we got into Bali. we almost had to cancel our trip because the big volcano, Agung was erupting (the volcano canceled all of the day before’s flights)! We had an early flight and mom forgot that she booked our tickets home on a different airline. We had a panic attack on the plane when she…
Month: June 2018
again again again again again again.
Monday June 25 Today we went to the ACM(Asian civilisations museum). They have a really cool exhibit where there is a ton of ancient relics that they found on a shipwreck- you can see more details in our earlier blog http://adventuresfromthelittlereddot.com/2018/04/16/aisian-civilization-museum/ … For lunch we tried a cool cafe on the banks of the Singapore River,…
Our first week with visitors.

Leeches, Literal beLLy fLops, and bad aLLiteration
Today was an interesting day. We started with a morning animal finding tour that wasn’t that cool because we only saw 1 animal but a lot of trees. But we did learn about a monkey trap they use to move the monkeys around and make sure no one area has too many. Then we went on…
Head in the clouds
Today was awesome! (well, most of it) First though the not so awesome part. We were planning on taking a “Guided snorkeling to see coral tour” but it turned out that instructors just pulled you around in the coral nursery. Luckily it wasn’t as bad as we thought and we saw some pretty cool coral….
Our next trip: Langkawi
We have finally started our second trip, this time to Langkawi. I don’t want to write about the plane ride, it was so bad. Anyway, once we left the airport we drove to the resort and it was as beautiful as the last, if not more. We checked out our room and then went swimming…
food review: freshly squeezed orange juice
Over the last few weeks we have been getting freshly squeezed orange juice at sidewalk fresh OJ machines (they have them all over the place). It just drops a few oranges into a rolling thing and squeezes the juice into a cup. They are only 2 dollars and they are a bit more sour than regular orange…
Food Review: Hawker Centers
In the time we have been in singapore we have been to many hawker centers (food courts). now you may ask “why? food courts are gross!” but obviously you have never been here. The food courts are amazing and inexpensive so they are a perfect place to stop to eat. We have found some of…
CC: Clean Cleats
Today we went to a soccer tournament (Bee’s comment: uggggg!)(Bee’s team did not win any games) and had a very good time, despite the fact that my cleats were way too tight and had to be switched with my sneakers. I even shouldered(?) in a goal (off a corner kick)! It was quite an adventure, especially…
(sigh)
He’s BAAAAAAAAAACK! (screams) It seems that our “dear president” has decided to follow us here. And no I don’t just mean to Singapore, he is at the hotel A BLOCK AWAY FROM US!!!!! (more screams). We are told from our reliable sources (a.k.a. all the news stations here) that he is here to have a…
