Juliet, Ashley, Bryant and Alex do
Southeast Asia
My Brother, Bryant lives in Singapore (for the second time) and I've wanted to visit him since the last time he lived there. Life is too short to have regrets so I set about convincing Joey to give me a couple thousand dollars;) I succeeded (he was pretty supportive once I convinced him!) and it was worth every penny! From beginning to end, here is my adventure!
The 24 hour Flight (ouch!!):
My favorite Singapore Airlines feature??
THE BASSINET
But The flight attendants were pretty hot too;)
They had perma smiles and were soooo sappy sweet!
I think red lipstick and up-dos were part of the uniform.
yea, I've been to Moscow
Singapore:
Our First Stop
We arrived at 8 am in the morning. Bryant was there, waiting for us. That's the first sign of a good host...on time to the airport or better yet, early. AND he payed for the taxi to get us home along with every other taxi the entire trip.
Juliet took to Uncle Bryant immediately. I think they know when you're family!
The only picture I took of Singapore... and now I feel so lame about it. You try carrying a 6 month old plus all her necessaries around Southeast Asia while simultaneously snapping pictures of every cool thing. Not pleasant folks, not pleasant! Singapore was impressive. This was a GIANT ferris wheel but really not that at all. The cars were huge cylinders made of glass and it looked as if business meetings were going on inside. If you look in the background you can see a Sydney inspired green house that was also very impressive. I was most impressed with how green this city is. I've never seen a huge, sky rise city with so much lush green growth and landscaping everywhere!
Adjusting to the time change, here we are in the middle of the night, trying to keep quiet for the rest of the apartment. The transition (with the help of Lunesta and baby Benadryl) actually went pretty smoothly.
Visiting Uncle Bryant at work.
Here's a view from the top...how Juliet traveled South east Asia:
A typical store front
The architecture there was predominantly modern or "Tommy Bahama"/Hollister" style.
truly beautiful
Lunch at the food court below Bryants work.
Delicious. My favorite thing? Carrot Cake...the asian version. It's a savory fried turnip/carrot contraption that makes your mouth water. I regret that there is a white guy behind me because it makes it seem like white people are everywhere. They are not. Caucasians are definitely a minority, caucasian babies even more so. Juliet was quite popular.
