Singapore

Jared and I recently returned from our trip to Singapore. It was amazing! Jared served his mission in Southeast Asia and for about six months of his mission he lived in Singapore. He's wanted to go back to visit for as long as I've known him, and we finally made it there this August. We spent about two weeks in Singapore and four days in Thailand (I'll post Thailand pictures later).

Singapore was beautiful. The trip was perfect. We were fortunate to be able to stay with friends from Jared's mission; they were incredibly generous and accommodating. We packed as many activities as we possibly could into each day. We went to several different museums and parks, attended the 2010 Youth Olympic Games Opening Ceremony Rehearsal (Singapore was hosting the summer games), visited some of the beautiful Hindu and Buddhist temples, toured the President's House (we happened to be there on their Independence Day), shopped in Chinatown and Little India, and ate delicious local cuisine. It was my first experience in Asia and I loved it!

We took a million pictures...it was all so interesting we couldn't resist.:)
