Today we did the usual breakfast at the hotel. This morning we had to dress in our business casual clothes and headed off to a meeting with Singapore Tourism Board's office. Here we just listed to a guy speak about the latest and greatest attractions that have been recently completed and/or in progress for completion soon. Singapore is a very neat place; construction is everywhere and yet they manage to still keep the construction areas incredibly clean! We took an afternoon visit to the Asia Research Institute & the History Dept. at the NUS Campus. We learned about globalization, religion and Singapore’s national narrative. (It was by a history professor that came from the States and has been living and teaching in Singapore for 12 years. Interesting stuff, I know.) Tonight a few of us headed off to ride the latest attraction – the Singapore flyer (At a height of 165m, Singapore Flyer is the world’s largest Giant Observation Wheel). It awesome, we were able to have a night view of Singapore. (I got a few pictures, but it was difficult because my camera wasn’t good at taking pictures while moving or taking them through glass… I mean I guess it could have been operator error too.. haha) That’s all I have for now. Hope all of you are doing well back home!
