We went with the single adult activity to Crab Island. The houses are on stilts. We walked around the town. We bought a lobster and had crab and other items for lunch. We rode this boat to the island. We wanted an open boat but it was too expensive.
I was a little nervous getting on a bike since by last experience was very painful.





The houses are on stilts because of the water.
Catching our lunch.
This is our lobster lunch.

The Chinese Temple across the street from us had a special celebration for the birthday of the Goddess of Mercy. The street was lined on both sides with cars with the military directing traffic. We let them use our house for parking. It was all Chinese people. They would stop and ask us what we were doing there since we were not Chinese.
This is the lion dance. There were two lions dancing through the temple to bring good luck for the coming year. It was very crowded so we couldn't get a good picture.
This is the treat table that no one takes from. A lady gave us a special cupcake from this table. It said be rich....well and happy. They had a vegetarian meal that we had some of but didn't have time to stay.
The sisters stayed at our house for p-day to learn to make apple pie. The elders came to eat it. The sisters went walking at the park with us in the morning.

This is our Senior Couples Conference - first one ever in the Singapore Mission. It was great.
This picture is out of place. This is taken from our boat. It takes 1/2 hour to ride the ferris wheel. I am definitely going to do that some day. There is also a sky ride to Sentosa that I would like to do if I don't get scared to death.
We went on a river boat ride. It was cheaper for us to rent the whole boat than pay individually.
This is not our boat but like the one we are on.
There is a casino in one of these buildings and I think a hotel. We haven't been in it yet.
The merlion is famous in Singapore.
We wanted to eat at the Iguana but it was crowded. They set up tables on the sidewalk for us. The food was worth the wait.

Zack and Li Mei Loveland. Zack's parents are in Harrisivlle so we got to step in for them. Li Mei's dad is in our branch.

Sister Rinet's companion was on a visa run in Singapore so she hung out with us. We went to teach a FHE lesson on family history to a new convert family. This is the Dad, Mom and Daughter. Below are two cousins that are new converts and a neighbor (the Indian) who is a new member. The neighbor and Sister Rinet translated for us. The dad and daughter understood English some and the mom just a little.
