We got to revisit Singapore last week when the boys took part in an international ice hockey tournament and played with their Bangkok teammates. I was excited to be back even though it's my third time in that country - the other visits were brief and I felt sure that I could tackle some more items off the to-do list in Singapore this time around.
Sam even got in touch with a former classmate from Choate, Mike, who took us to a great lunch spot on our last day. In the end, I did more sightseeing of the nightlife areas than the botanic gardens of Singapore, but still had a wonderful time and found myself so relaxed and happy to be in a place where the cars stop at least 10 feet away from you to let you cross the street - what a treat!

| Please rate this toilet. Everything has signs like this in Singapore. Amazing. |
Turns out, Joe got smacked in the face with a stick in their first game of the tournament! So he was out half a tooth and his lower lip was put into two separate pieces entirely. He was such a trooper and still made the most of being there - we all had some fun times hanging out with the team and eating all the yummy food Singapore has to offer.

| Good ol' Singapore. |

Here are some more pictures from what little wandering I managed to sneak in between long sleep sessions and lazy reading in one of the most comfortable beds ever (thanks, AirBnB).

| Hey, it's Sam! |
 |
| Walk on the rocks in your bare feet, he said. It's good for you, he said. OUCH, I said. |
