Logistics

Though I still have much on Australia to put down here, we actually left Australia 2 days ago and are currently in Singapore. As we travel, blogs will be spotty as internet will be spotty, and I'm afraid I may intersperse Australian entries with other topics.

Singapore is. . . tropical! Green, hot, and humid! We went to a very interesting Asian Civilisations Museum yesterday. There are so many different people groups around here that I couldn't keep track. Indonesia, Malaysia, China, and India all seem to have a presence in the cultural melee. Not to mention the past British influence. While David gave a talk at the National University of Singapore yesterday afternoon, the kids and I hung out in the hotel room, braved the bustling streets here to forage for food, and played in the swimming pool. David returned from the University with a friend we knew from church in Ann Arbor. She was a grad student back then and is now a professor at NUS. Irene drove us around Singapore and took us out for real Singaporean food for dinner. It was quite good! Then, we all went on the night safari. Today, we're meeting her again and going back to the zoo in the daylight. We might also stop by Chinatown.
