Singapore Botanical Gardens
















On Friday we went to the Botanical Gardens. They are famous for a rainforest collection and their Ginger and Orchid gardens. I've posted some pictures we took, though I don't have names for all the flowers. It is relatively close to Glentrees (the condominium complex where Jens lives). Bruce has had to learn to text message to get us a taxi. It is good for him. Jens could not believe he has never done it before. (He was on the Skype helping him learn to do it.) We ate samosas, Chinese dumplings and a carrot milkshake while we were out. Bruce wanted to sleep but we didn't until after Gita gave us a delicious dinner. I think I could get used to having a maid. While showing me the way to the local grocery store, she commented that she would not work for any of the single family properties we passed because they are so lonely. In Glentrees there are many people living together and they look out for each other. She would be afraid at night without so many people around.
