I got yelled at by a Singaporean taxi driver

Right now we are in Singapore! After a flight to KL and a lovely (?) overnight train we arrived yesterday morning in Singapore, which is a beautiful city!

Last night we went to the Night Safari after navigating the subway and taxi systems. And yes, we got yelled at because we didn't follow the rules for waiting in a queue. Who knew there was a proper way to stand in line?

Anyway today we are off to do more exploring of this impeccably clean and orderly city.

We spent 3 days in Manila prior to our flight to KL and had an amazing experience there, walking through slum areas with some of Stairway's Manila staff, and getting to know the city better with Ken Lee, a friend who goes to Duke. Zach, Jao, and Mark were able to meet us in Manila on Friday to watch the new Harry Potter movie! It was awesome to see them again before we left- we definitely miss the Stairway family a lot!

More to come on the rest of our Manila experience!
We leave Singapore tomorrow night on a train back to KL to do some exploring there for a few days.
