Singapore Pt. 1
For the christmas holidays I booked a ticket to Singapore to visit my mum and family. She relocated here for work to head the library department for the UNSW's new Asia campus. Eri wanted to come but her parents said it was not appropriate, but after visiting them and asking for their permission in person they agreed for her to come along.
We flew in during the early hours of the 27th and caught a quick taxi to my mum's nice condominium. Her uni gave her a generous rental allowance so we are in a great position near the city in a nice condominuim. In the morning I greeted my family properly and gave them their presents. It was nice to see them after a year of absence. Then we briefly visited the new campus which is down the road to see mum in action before heading out to do some exploring, followed by a post-christmas seafood buffet extravaganza with the family that left it's mark on our waistlines, followed by a beer down at the Quays at Asia's only Hooters family restaurant.
The 28th was a bit of a mess, after letting Ishmael and his friend drop their bags off at our place we took a walk to the nearby botannical gardens which were nice, except for the tropical rain that descended upon us. Then after attempting to visit the zoo we took a cable car to the resorty Sentosa Island to visit the aquarium, which was nice but small. Then it was off to Little India for dinner, where some guy grabbed Eri's ass, before meeting Ishmael and heading to Singapore's very own Ministry of Sound. The club is huge and very impressive, but the music is pretty dismal which is standard for Asia (Japan not included).
