What's going on back in Sing......1st weekend
09.02.2010
So I cannot believe it is already the first week into February! I feel like I just returned to Sing! It was nice to arrive back to beautiful weather! In fact as I figured I would I struggled badly with the 13 hour time difference jet lag, so I spent my first few days poolside - being that is all I could physically bring myself to do!
The first weekend back, it was Travis' birthday on that Saturday, so I planned us a little getaway to Bintan Island, Indonesia. Bintan and Batam Island are off the southern coast of Indonesia. It is a 40 minute ferry ride from Singapore - I guess it's a weekend getaway comparable to NYC and The Hamptons.
We stayed our first night in a bungalow resort which would have been fabulous minus the other guests. Let's just say the resort forgot to inform us we would be the only other guests there that were NOT a part of the university reunion group that were staying there! Music and partying until 5 am - and people a thin bamboo wall does not muffle a bit of that kind of noise! Needless to say we were "those" people who complained first thing the next morning and got changed up to the sister resort up the road where our new hut was much much better!!! Who would have thought?!! Getting older much?
All in all it was a great birthday trip - we got massages and ate great indonesian food and got some relaxing in!
Put up some pictures from the weekend as well as some Singapore pics with Chinese New Year decorations and events starting! The true Chinese Lunar New Year starts next week so will post more on that event- pretty cool to see! Happy Lunar New Year or as they say "Gong Xi Fa Chi" !
