Update from Kiera and Chloe

Hey, it's Kiera! It's time for an update! First, I want to give thanks to Auntie Karin for all her help with the shipment. Beyond that, we are being busy 24/7 with chores. We aren't on vacation. We still have to do dishes, sweep and mop the floor, but it is worth it. It's amazing to even be able to take a walk here.

We found a really good Indian restaurant just taking a walk. It was an amazing restaurant. It was like in the jungle. There were fake bird baths, lions, snakes, and panthers. They even had a Tarzan swing whose legs almost hit my dad's head. My dad is happy Tarzan was fake. It was a blast and the food was good too.

Hey, it's Chloe! We took a trip to Sentosa a few weeks ago. It's a separate island at the bottom of Singapore. To get to Sentosa we have to go to Vivo City on the MRT and ride a trolley or cable car. Sentosa is where Universal Studios is and lots of shops. For Kiera, there is a Legoland, Candylicious store, and a Hershey's World. In Hershey's there is a whole corner of Reece's Peanut Butter Cups. Also, they have a big Merlion (half lion half mermaid). It is a big deal here like the Statue of Liberty is to us. You have to climb up stairs to get to the top and come out of the mouth. That is one of our favorites. We haven't done everything on Sentosa yet but we will do more while we are here.

McKenna's Thoughts

Hey, it is McKenna finally blogging here in Singapore! For the time that we have been here, I have adjusted well. I have now taken up soccer at an Arsenal school for football players. We are starting school soon, and I think this is the only time you will here me say this, I am actually looking forward to having something to do for once.

 It is so cool to be able to experience all the different types of cultures here in Singapore. Thanks to that, I have now found my new favorite type of food, and it is Indian Cuisine. We went to an area in Singapore called Little India, and we found this restaurant called Jungle Tandoor. They made great Naan and Buttered Chicken which were my favorite. That was the BEST Indian food I think that I have ever encountered.

 It seems like we are always trying new food. We we went on a tour of Singapore with our settling in tour guide, and for lunch she said to try this really good Thai restaurant that was SUPER YUMMY!!!!:) They made really good Pad Thai. It was even better than Big Bowl! There are also many markets. They have all sorts of food from fruits and vegetables, to seafood and meat. But, there are these really smelly fruits called Durian that smell horrible and are SO GROSS!! That would be my least favorite food. Overall, I am really starting to like it here. It is a clean and very safe environment to live in. I hope you all are have a great start to the year and hope to talk to you soon!<3
