Singapore and home

Hi everyone

We come back tomorrow-time has flown by!  Singapore has been good-deb wasn't feeling so great so I explored a bit on my own-the met system here is easier then the London tube so it was super easy to figure out.  I got caught in a thunderstorm when I was out so it gave me the excuse to stop at starbucks and get an almond cake and a London fog while I waited it out. I also may have had a burger and fries since I was somewhat happy to not be eating curry.  :). Today we went to chintown where I tried prawn noodles ( with squid) and carrot cake (not what you're thinking unless you're thinking fat noodles in a red bean slightly sweet sauce) and dumplings.  Itwas all pretty yum.  Then we went to little India and shopped.  Deb and I are coming back withFOOD!  Can't wait to start cooking.  Then, we went for dinner with debs uncle (s) and other family and had chicken rice.  Even more yumm.  

I tried a few other things today too:  jackfruit (tasty!), young coconut water nd the sweet bit inside (so good), AND durian.  Not something I would ever choose to eat but if I had to again it wouldn't kill me-I'd just hold my breath doing it. :) it has a slighht petrol taste to it...

So 700 photos later and one extra suitcase each, we will be back in Vancouver tomorrow night, full of jetlag probably.  
Praying for a good flight back with lots of goodmovie selections (kidding about the movies :)
