We traveled to Singapore during the Phum Ben Holiday in October 2010 to meet up with our friends JE and C & their kids whom we know from Cairo. We had a great time catching up with them and many other old CAC friends whom JE & C had invited for brunch. Singapore is a great city with endless things to do for everyone. We ate at great restaurants, shopped a little at some bookstores, saw several performances, went to the Singapore zoo, the Botanical Gardens, an Imax theatre, and some museums. Thank you JE & C for a fabulous time!
Checking out JE's new ipad. The kids are loving it as much as the dads.
At the apartment complex where JE & C live. The girls are dressed up and ready to go to the Esplanade Theatre downtown for the performance of Xi Gua Watermelon Girl & the Legend of the Lion by Players Theatre.

Crazy casino in the shape of a boat on top of three skyscrapers.
Singapore skyline.
Kids running around in a city park in down town while the moms are having a coffee at Starbucks! A real treat for me.
E on the Ben & Jerry's cow. Every western chain restaurant is available in Singapore.
"Scary" Halloween advertisement for an evening Halloween event at the zoo.
Water show at the Singapore Zoo complete with music and frisbee tossing.
My sweet girls and my favorite animals: the giraffes.
After lunch we spend about an hour playing in the water park at the zoo. The bucket would fill with water every 5 minutes and get dumped out. S & E loved standing under it to get drenched.
The zoo playground is incredible. S is flying down on the zip line.
Zip line high! Woohoo!
Zebras! S and E loved figuring out where we would go next on the zoo map.
The elephant show was spectacular but ended early because it started raining hard.
Merry-go-round at the zoo.
Still fun for everyone!
Flowers at the Singapore Botanic Gardens.
Giant mushrooms at the Jacob Ballas Children's Garden.
Awesome draw bridge in the Jacob Ballas Children's Garden.
Every park or attraction in Singapore has a water element to cool off. We just carried swimsuits and a towel everywhere we went!
Visit to the Peranakan Museum down town with C who is a real expert on the museums in Singapore.
