Monday June 18 Today Na and No arrived in singapore(yay!). We mostly hung around the house and ate by the pool. They said they survived the 24 hour flight(but they fell asleep at 7:30 so I don’t really believe them!) Tuesday June 19 Today we went to the BTRTS(buddha tooth relic and stupa). It was…
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

CC: Clean Cleats
Today we went to a soccer tournament (Bee’s comment: uggggg!)(Bee’s team did not win any games)Â 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…
whooooooooo in the zoo
Today we went to the zoo. We didn’t do the whole thing because it is huge! Some of the coolest animals that we saw were the white tiger, an otter, and the red butted monkey(those aren’t there real names i’m just making them up because that is what they look like) (except for the white…
Adventures on Phi Phi Islands
For our last day in Thailand, we ventured to the beautiful Phi Phi islands – noted by some travel reviews as some of the best beaches in the world. We braved the front of our boat as we rocked up and down on the waves for an hour en route to the islands in the…
