SINGAPORE.

Tuesday- After an couple-hour long plane ride, a layover in Malaysia, a complication in Malaysia, and another hour-long plane ride we finally arrived in Singapore.  Sadly, Michelle did not arrive with us.  She left her passport on the plane from Cambodia to Malaysia and had to stay behind while she worked things out.  On the way from the airport to the hotel we got word that her passport had been found and she would be joining us in Singapore the next day.  In the meantime, we settled into our hotel rooms and headed back downstairs for dinner.  We just had pizza.  Later that night many people from our group met together and walked down to the movie theater to see none other than HARRY POTTER!!!  The movies cost 8 Singapore dollars (which was 6 US dollars) for us.  This was a completely amazing deal, this theater was AMAZING!  Everything was so nice and the theater itself was HUGE.  We sat down on red, velvet, cushioned seats.  I cannot believe we only paid 6 dollars.. in the states this theater would be worth about 15 dollars!!  On top of all of this, Harry Potter was AMAZING, most likely the best movie out of all of them.  I wanted it to keep going, I cannot wait for the second half!

Wednesday- After "sleeping in" we met downstairs before walking to lunch.  On our way to lunch we stopped at a temple, which was more updated than all the traditional ones we had seen in other countries.  We continued walking to lunch, and ate close by.  After lunch we had a little time to walk around then we got on the bus to head to the Singapore ZOO!  I loved the Zoo, we got to see so many animals! (duh).  I had fun though, and afterwards we went on a "Night Safari"  that was pretty cool too.  We rode around on the "trams" and stopped and saw animals at night.  It was a lot like the Zoo, but we also saw bats (walked through a cage with them in it) and we saw many animals who are only awake/ more active at night.  After we were done with the Zoos, we headed back to the hotel and worked on journals before falling asleep.

Thursday- It was our free day but we woke up earlier to walk with the group to the "Ferris Wheel".  Its kind of like the one in England, so I have heard.  It was HUGE, and it took about half an hour to go all the way around, but we saw some amazing views of Singapore.  Afterwards we walked around the city, headed back close to our hotel and ate lunch.  Afterwards we walked around the "markets"/ shops.. Then that night was our goodbye dinner.  We all dressed up and looked nice, and got on the bus to head to our mystery dinner destination.  Guess where we arrived... None other than the OUTBACK STEAKHOUSE.  I was extremely excited.. haha.  I had steak and mashed potatoes and an awesome dessert!  ha.. We stayed there forever, and took tons of pictures afterwards.. It was so weird that our trip was coming to an end, and that for me and 17 other people we would be saying goodbye to half the group the next day in Tokyo.  After dinner we went back to the hotel, then some of us went to the movies or walked around town or just hung out before making sure we had everything packed and staying up late talking because we left for the airport at 230 in the morning!  ugh..

Friday- Left for the airport (at 230 in the morning!)  and just hung out there until it was time to leave.  After checking in a handful of us stayed behind and talked to Ms Pam and Chris before walking to the gate.. we werent ready to say goodbye to them yet!  I was going to miss them both so much!  But we finally detached from them, after giving tons of hugs, and went to our gate, then boarded the plane for TOKYO JAPAN!!
